Yeah, I want one of those those. Two fish I want catch at some point in my life is a white sturgeon, then followed shortly thereafter by an alligator gar. It doesn't have to be in that order. However, if I happened to luck into a hybrid gar, I wouldn't turn that down either.
Out of all gar species that exist, it's been said that these hybrid gar are the rarest and hardest ones to catch. On that note, a big congratulations is in order for the angler in the video. A fish like that may never be caught again.
