there was speculation as to what it was but a local fish shop thought it was a Alligator Fish, found in the state of Florida, America, which is almost correct for Atractosteus spatula, alligator gars are not native to Florida, the range of the alligator gar extends from the Florida Panhandle, through the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Mississippi River Basin extending north to the lower portions of the Ohio and the Missouri River, and ranges southwest through Texas down to Veracruz, Mexico.
although this picture is labeled at 327lbs, it is in fact 'only' 244.5lbs and was not caught in Broken Bow Lake, but in Sam Rayburn Reservoir, Texas, still it makes a good 'fishy' story.
