Remind me to go swimming in a pool and not in a lake. Geesh...Alligators are not my friends.

Apparently the author didn’t get the memo...

This was NOT an alien fish, it was merely undocumented. And, from the looks of it, probably a dreamer.

Poor Gar, it probably died of pollution.

Looks like those “skull crawlers” from the movie “Kong -Skull Island.”

I grew up in NC and we had them in all the lakes and rivers. I remember the local bait shop had one mounted on the wall. Never heard of them bothering anybody though.

2.5 meters in North America?

So that would be like 8 feet in England ?

C’mon man

Note that in Singapore they can still call the damned thing an “alien” fish.

That is no longer possible in Biden’s America. A piraña is nothing but an “undocumented” fish.

The Rio Grand is full of alligator gar. I’ve seen them roll along side the boat when I was fishing in South Texas. They are not a danger to humans.

Would I eat one? No. Nor do I want to eat the needle nose gar (small cousin fo the alligator gar). But some people do. But for that matter some people eat Carp. NOT ME.

I hooked something like that as a kid fishing, but it wasn’t a foot long. Toothy, though. Tossed it back.

The correct term is “Undocumented Fish”.
