Alligator Gar Size - World record on rod and reel is 279 pounds but they get bigger - some have been reported up to 350 pounds and 10 feet long. Most caught by fishermen and bow fishermen now is around 100 pounds.

My father use to take me fishing in the Everglades. It was full of these gar fish and what a nuisance they were. Big hammerknockers as Southerners would say. Tons of gators too...and snakes. But the brim, bass, and scenery were beautiful.

Due to its large size and sharp teeth, the alligator gar is capable of delivering a serious bite wound to fisherman or 
swimmers.  However, there is no documentation of attacks on man by alligator gars.  The eggs are poisonous, causing illness 
if consumed by humans.
