Alligator Gat
East Fork Of The Trinity Record 140 Lbs (I believe the East Fork/Trinity extends from above Lake Lavon in McKinney to about Cedar Creek lake) So this WOULD be the DFW Metromess.

Trinity River- I know this is vague as the "Trinity River" covers buku miles.. 290 Lbs

No Alligator Gar records for the Elm Fork or Clear Fork of the Trinity.. The West Fork does not appear on TPWD's website.

What does it all mean? I dunno. I bank fish Lavon & RayHub alot and have never caught one.. I don't know Gar all that well so I always look for the double upper set of teeth when I catch a Gar, but have yet to get an Aliigator. Doesn't mean they're not there though...
