i was just wondering, how much more expensive do true spotted gar sell for versus the more common Florida gar? i live in a region where they live and have thought about getting a commercial fishing license to catch and legally sell them. is it worth it?
Prices for true Spotted gar vs Florida gar

alright, ill definitely look into it. i need to look up some rules and laws for capture in Mississippi
-keep in mind the demand for those fish is relatively low, and i can tell you from plenty of personal experience there is not really any true "profit" to be made in it. you may be able to essentially cover the costs of feeding/housing/capturing the fish, but that's about it. the amount of time that goes into rearing/maintaining juveniles (even for just transport) or shipping adults is quite large, and the returns are break-even at best.
if you're doing it to get some spots into the hobby that's great, but i wouldn't recommend doing it to make any money. even with Cubans we basically break even on costs of feed/housing--

i was hoping that you would chime in. im just looking to have fun and enjoy myself, maybe make a buck or two. i just dont have any experience with fishing of that nature or the housing for multitudes of fish. this is definitely something to look forward to doing. im in school now to be a biology teacher so i'll have my summers to work snowball stands and catch fish! thanks for your input, i appreciate it.
