Its really not bad. It was that way when I got the gar at about 6-7", so either it happened very young or was a birth defect. Obviously hasn't affected his/her development any. It kind of makes the gar look unique.
I actually hadn't meant to give you that gar, but there was chaos when I was catching them and grabbed the wrong one without noticing. Oh well. I'd love to get it back, but again I'm not in a position to do so right now. If I weren't so attached to my dats, I'd pick up all 3 fish...
Good luck on the sale man.
