Alligator gars average larger sizes than Great barracudas. Being two or even just one feet can be a big deal since both aren't really large. It wouldn't really matter if it happened to be a 50 foot whale and a 52 foot whale. Alligator gars also have alligator-like jaws which would provide much more grip than a barracuda's jaw.

This is a video of me petting/loving our Alligator Gar. He is truly the most amazing fish we have kept. He is a vicious predator as you can see in his other video, but he also knows that we love him and allows us to handle and pet him. He lets me handle him against the side of the tank and then goes into a relaxed state where all his fins lay back and he just sits there and enjoys the interaction. In the future he will be in a natural pool where we can swim with him.
