articleThe "monster" alligator gar that was caught in Texas last month has broken not one, not two but four International Game and Fish Association (IGFA) records. Captain Kirk Kirkland served as the guide to Art Weston who reeled in the 283-pound alligator gar on Sept. 2. The 283-pound alligator gar was set to break at least two records, but now has a total a four state and world records to its name. The Texas Parks and Wildlife reports that alligator gar is a species that's "as old as the dinosaurs." After weighing the large fish, Weston and Kirkland released their catch back into the water.
