OK, TomF... no more SICK stuff from Lump-
It tickled my twisted mind so much tho, I just had to send it in..
and Re: Alligator Gar.. yessir... looks familiar..
I've heard 'em called Freshwater Barracuda. Really, tho, they're packin' a lot more brawn and attitude than anything in saltwater except mebbe a Great White!
and they have a hide like iron... I saw a picture lately in a knife collectors' magazine of a specially tempered "spear" used for gar... cleaning one with a run-of-the-mill-knife is very tough on the knife. Like trying to filet rocks.
