    ok
    is that an ahrapama

    looks like a gar of some kind but the snout isnt long enough
    the body is of a south american ahrapama
    snouts long enough for that but Ive never seen one with such huge teeth
    course Ive never seen a 12 footer either

    Alligator Gar, which gets up to 12 feet long and 300 lbs

    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...

    Well thanks Apex, That is the boat I am going to build when I get a job and move out of the house. That boat will show people that I can build a good boat. I will use it a display boat for my boatyard. Remember what I said about starting a boatyard then expanding it to a shipyard? Well I am still going to do that. When my company is big enough, I will go on a fishing vacation in this:

    Also, do you remember me saying that the first thing I am going to do is build a diesel or a steamer? well that is the boat. Might come and visit you in it :D. It's big enough to go from the East Coast of the United states to Hamburg, Germany I think.

    Ive never built one
    but they sure look good

    It is big enough! But start with the smaller one first, It´s frustrating when it takes years before the success becomes obvious!

    Well yeah, I am not going to build that big one anytime soon. I am going to wait 'till I have at least 100 mil.
