Alligator Gar...8feet 10 inches...327 lbs....yes it's real.....could be the reason some people disappear in Oklahoma lakes.....

Do you know if it's only in those waters? I just never seen such a thing and did think cross between gator and fish.

Don't know, a friend of mine in Idaho sent me the photo and info....

how do you make fish sticks?

Alligator gar are found in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. They have also been known occasionally to come as far north as central Kansas, off the Republican River and up into Clarks Creek. They inhabit sluggish pools and backwaters or large rivers, bayous, and lakes. They are rarely found in brackish or saltwater, but are more adaptable to the latter than are other gars.

In February 2007, a 1.5-foot alligator gar was found roaming far in the city of Jakarta, Indonesia, when the city was hit by a major flood.
