i agree, hell they probably had to kill it to get it in the boat. what's wild is it's not even close to the record

funny you should say that because when i claimed that they are much bigger apparently i was wrong, this could be a record on rod and reel, but for bowfishing i think they go just a few lbs. bigger. but i can't seem to find any definate #'s. this one doesn't seem to have any wounds to say bowfished, so I'm guessing it was rod and reel, or trot line. I don't know. there are several different sites i found from google pics. but none i saw say for sure, and even a few give a different site that it was caught. fuckin' web, you never know what to believe.

it looks to me that the world record is 279 lbs for an alligator gar on rod and reel caught in 1951 on the rio grande river. this was seen on 3 different sites, so if this was caught w/a rod it could be the new record if verified.
