What's the fattest gar?

[Mount_Prion]

I mean proportionally. Obviously a 7' gator is going to be wider than a max size tropical or something, but I mean proportionally to its body size, which gar gets the thickest?

I love me gars that look like fat little sausages with snouts and fins. I'm guessing cubans maybe?

Florida gars tend to get that "chunky" look with age more so than the other species; the other species tend to be a bit more proportional from what I've noticed.

Given a non overweight fish a cuban would likely be the thickest.

Take a look at Egons Trop gar ...lol

 

[E_americanus]

Cuban gars from a natural morphology (not the captivity-induced obesity we see in a lot of gars), probably followed by large adult tropical gars. both species are really thick--
