Thank you, friends!
“What kind of GAR is that?…”
As Sol said, and I totally believe him - it's a Florida/spotted gar - Lepisosteus platyrhincus/oculatus.
But actually, would somebody tеll me how many specimen of these unique fishes is it?
Take a look at these pics, which some other friends had linking me:
