Alligator Gar released in Kentucky

A popular sportfish in areas of the south where it still thrives, the alligator gar will eventually grow over 6 feet in length and weigh in excess of 150 pounds.  Today, the 12-inchers are being released into backwater streams of western Kentucky that flow into the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers where they swam historically. Host, Tim Farmer, follows the journey with the Kentucky Division of Fisheries experts who made the reintroduction possible.
