Hey Chris, I'm not sure what the biggest one ever found is around my area in west Tennessee,
but I've often wondered when playing as a kid around a local river lol.
I haven't forgot the time when we had a nearby beaver pond dry up. The last thing living
were about 20-40 alligator gars in about a 10 by 30 hole only about a foot deep. Reminded
me of a bunch of pigs wallowing in the mud.
They ranged in length from around a 2 foot to 4 foot. It was surprising how long they lived
in that little puddle!
