Something we normally don't worry about in northeast Texas. This one was caught in a small lake where we hunt alot. They seen another on the other day while fishing. Been in that thing several times and the thought of a gator being in there never crossed my mind!

Kyle killed one in his lake right there on HWY 11 a few years ago that was at least that big.  I hate those lizards.

Did they put a tape measure on that thing?  I keep looking at it and if they man is normal sized that is nearly 12' of gator!

Thats wild, that gator prolly just moved all around in that low area.

He didn't say much about that one all he kept talking about was the other one he saw while fishing. That's pretty good size for these parts.

That would be the end of me hunting that place for sure.  Wouldn't matter to me how good the hog hunting was!

I aint seen one here but a bunch of folks have told me that they see a few in sulphur river outside of Naples.

But I grew up in north Louisiana on the bayou Macon. No shortage of gators their. I have listened to old men talk about big gators trying to turn a boat over cause there was a dog in it. My grandaddy used to say that a dog was the worst thing to have in ur boat.
