WHOS GOT THE LARGEST GAR HERE?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think my feeding clip might have reduced the number of responses that this thread might get. There are a few big ones out there, though.
 
I have a 30" tropical. Ill try to get a good pic. He's very dark and doesn't photo well. and a 24-26" Florida
 
Most of the record sizes on "longnose" are actually longnose/alligator gar hybrids, so it's tough to tell if you are just reading a list of sizes and not looking at photos. I caught one that was 73" long, but some of the hybrids that are registered as longnose are several inches longer.

where did you get that information since they will most likely take a DNA test when they put the fish in record.
 
They DO NOT take a DNA test, all that is required is for a TP&W game warden to "verify" that the hybrid is a longnose, and the record is certified. 99% of the game wardens in Texas can't tell the difference, of course. There have been a couple record longnose decertified after-the-fact in Texas because of a biologist reversing the certification.

that is so dumb, they should have done the DNA test like with the striped bass.
