See? This is 12 feet btw. "Half alligator, half fish, the alligator gar can survive up to two hours on land, but primarily stays in the water.
They can grow up to 12 feet in length and are the largest freshwater fish." I would give all of my money too hook this baby, I would have it stuffed and hung on my wall though. I would have it stuffed with it's mouth open to display it's awesomely huge teeth though.

mgriffin, very pretty and neat boat, get set and start building.... then you may have a chance at catching your fish for your 15 seconds of fame without expending all your money... Good luck...
