Thought this would be cool to share. It's something different. While living in Florida when I wasn't working I tried to get out on the lakes. We were flipping jigs on the edge of a phosphate pit in the thick over growth. When I thought the big one hit it. To my suprise it was a baby gator. Glad it wasn't mama.

Let me know if you want to go. I might be able to arrange. I know a guy down there that gets permits for them to sell the meat comercially. I can't remember the name of the outfit. He has done a few segments on the outdoor channel and has taken big names on the hunts like Alan Jackson and Tony Stewart. He took me Turkey hunting and also did my mount. He is a real cool guy.

Thats great! I would probably take that sucker home and keep it as a pet until it got to big. Then I'd eat it.

Nice catch! Guess it wasn't that much trouble getting it off the hook.

The hook was barely in him. It caught him in the side of the snout. Once in the boat it practically fell out.
