With the pics being what they are, I'd say Florida gar

Im not a gar expert but that looks like a Spotted or Cuban Gar. Not a gator, IMO.

a better picture would definitely help. How are the teeth lined up? Multi rowed, does it have a overbite so to speak. All traits of a gator.

 

[Polypterus]

Not an Atractosteus...
Florida is the best candidate out of the Lepisosteus.
