Yep, it's neither short nor long nose gar.  Much too big and it isn't supposed to be there, where there's typical short and long nose gar territory.

iceman260:
WOW!! THAT'S HUGE.

skifisher:
He’s gonna need a bigger rod for next time :o !!!

Exceptional fish for sure.

Either you mistook a paddlefish for an alligator gar, or an alligator gar successfully locked through every dam on the upper Mississippi.  Gonna apply Occam's razor on this one even though I'd really like it to be true.
