    Here in the Southern US we do have some strange fish. This used to be my favorite to catch on a rod and reel, although many fisherman use a bow and arrow and hunt them rather than fish for them. They are common in still water and are often seen at the surface of the water. In the water they do look like alligators. They are called Alligator Gar.

    they can be very large. Audubon wrote about finding them 20 feet long approx 7 meters long. the largest I ever caught were about 8 feet long (2.5 M)

    Here is an old picture I found online that is about the size of the largest I ever caught (OK it does look 3 or 4 feet longer than mine was)

    Here is a picture of "Splash" she was a favorite at the Texas State Aquarium:

    Here is her story:

    Quote:
    Splash

    Splash, former world record blue catfish, died December 6, 2005, at TFFC. She came to live at the center on January 14, 2004, after being caught from Lake Texoma by Cody Mullennix of Howe, Texas. At 121.5 pounds, she was the largest blue catfish ever caught and held that record until a 124-pound fish was caught from the Mississippi River in 2005. Splash is still the Texas state record blue catfish.

    Here is a fish called a "Dolphin" here in Texas, it is not related to the Porpose or the mammal called a dolphin.

    It is quite common in the Gulf of Mexico. It is also called Dorado. In other parts of the world it is usually called Mahi-Mahi

    Although dolphins, porpoises and whales (blue, beluga, humpback, killer, sperm, etc) look like fish, technically they are classified as mammals. As with all mammals, dolphins/whales bear their young live and the young feed from the mother's mammaries.

    According to Merriam-Webster Dictionar a fish is any of numerous cold-blooded strictly aquatic craniate vertebrates that include the bony fishes and usually the cartilaginous and jawless fishes and that have typically an elongated somewhat spindle-shaped body terminating in a broad caudal fin, limbs in the form of fins when present at all, and a 2-chambered heart by which blood is sent through thoracic gills to be oxygenated

    Dolphins are warm blooded (constant body temperature instead of temperature of the environment), have a 4-chambered heart and do not have gills by which to extract dissolved oxygen from the water. They have a blow hole through which they breathe air from the atmosphere.

    Dolphins are considered to be highly intelligent animals. However, there is actually a dolphin fish, (also posted by Br. Woodrow) but it looks quite different. The dolphin fish is also called a mahi mahi.
