The fish is an alligator gar, staple foods: fish and alligators (hence the name) Uses: scales have been used as spear heads and armor by native americas

[quote:dbb4c]The rod and reel world record alligator gar weighed 290 lb, and the trot line, or unrestricted division record weighed 302 lb. Both were caught in the Rio Grande River back in the 1950s, and measured a little over 7-1/2 ft in length.[/quote:dbb4c]
