They can grow long and massive - more than six feet long and over 100 pounds. ![]() If you ever get the chance, tag along or book a professional guide for a wild fishing expedition, and get yourself an Alligator Gar in Florida’s Panhandle!

What I didn’t realize then was that fishing for Alligator Gar is unlike any other species of fish! These freshwater predators dominate their habitat and make for a truly monster catch. So I was excited for a new-to-me species and looked forward to the adventure. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as we don’t have access to Alligator Gar where I’m from (a small town on the coast of North Carolina).
