They have 2 rows of meat down their backbone , in Louisiana they make them into Gar Fish balls and fry them in hot grease. LOFR

That might be a Spotted Gar. I haven't seen a lot of juvenile Long-nosed Gar, so I could be mistaken.
Here in OK, we have four out of five species of Gar. Long-nose, Short-nosed, Spotted, and Alligator.
Yes, they do fight good. I've tangled with lots of adult-sized Long-nosed Gar. Nice fight to them.
