![]() I enjoyed a fishing trip to East Texas in 2010 in search of one of these giants. ![]() This amazing fish – the Alligator Gar –is North America’s largest freshwater fish, largely found in East Texas and the gulf ‘plains’ area of Louisiana. This fish can reach more than 8 feet in length and in excess of 300 pounds, with a bill full of sharp teeth and eyes like black saucers. One of the most awesome, terrifying looking freshwater predators on the planet happens to thrive in a particular area of the United States, and has gone largely unnoticed by even seasoned anglers. Virtually any average American, whether or not they fish recreationally, can easily identify bass or ‘bream’ and most realize that a fish with whiskers is probably a catfish. Nonetheless the largest freshwater fish in North America is arguably its most mysterious fish. It can’t be overstated – to the enthusiastic angler, landing the biggest representative of a species is always better. David Graham – Date Posted: September 14, 2011 ![]()
