Frankly /hr/, there are few decent pics and fewer hires to be found via Google. I thought I might introduce you to the alligator gar, an affectionate log with other gar but a hypersonic killer when hungry.

I'd seen the tiny Asian gar in fish stores and while I was keeping thousands of fish in tanks I hadn't added gar yet. The Asian gar are the size of these lures.

Every aquarist in my area knew me but when a shop called at 10PM one night I found it odd. Instead of a phone diagnosis of some fish malady they pleaded with me to accept "free fish"????

Turns out a customer ordered two Asian gar but the clerk mistakenly ordered two American gar. At the shop I found 17 & a 16 inch gars still in the styrofoam box in bags of water. The store was too frightened to unpack them and unable to close till they found a home for their toothy pets.

FREE FISH is was and I took home two tired and frightened "monsters" to a newly installed 55. Gar will hover motionless for hours with crossed snouts looking more like love birds than predators.

The minnows I kept in their tank used the gar for play using their noses like aircraft carrier decks. Fun was had by all till the gar felt a hunger pang and *SNAP* meant a missing minnow.

Sean Chatham, of Ardmore OK, pulled in a 184-pound, 3-ounce alligator gar Feb. 25 from the Red River in Love County, establishing a new state record.

Chatham snagged the monstrous fish about 2 p.m. using a stainless steel leader and 25 pound test line.

“We try to go after the big ones, but when I saw how big this one was I was really surprised. I fought the fish for about 35 minutes before it got into some shallow water near the bank. When it did, I jumped on it and tried to keep it from making another run into deep water,” Chatham said.

The record-breaking alligator gar measured seven feet, eight inches long and was an impressive three feet, two inches in girth.

Chatham's fish broke the previous alligator gar record by four pounds. Deryl Landers set the previous record a 180-pound fish also caught from the Red River in 2002.

a 55 is 4 ft. wide so they had tons of space. I needed the full width as a buffer if i had need to put a hand in the tank. I was keeping 3000 fish in 20 tanks using an aerated 100 gallon H2O tank on the floor above me. Two Diatom filters removed any debris missed by tank filters and activated charcoal removed nitrates. My fish flourished.
