    First things first. Learn what a pussy is then come back and talk to me.

    Like sticking it in a 5 gallon bucket of axle grease, I'm sure.


    Well this morning I'd all but zeroed. Literally THE LAST line I walk up on. I'm complacent and thinking another blank. Then I notice the line is in an unusual manner, follow it, and notice I'M ABOUT to step on a got dam gator's tail. True story.

    Lucky for me it had wrapped the line around some grass, somehow. When I pulled on the string (with a 10 ft gaff- really) the line popped. I fugured it would and why I took the picture first, after freeing him up a bit. It's not the best picture but, hey, I'm sure you understand. :eek:

    you're lucky he was tangled up and tired out.

    We once took a baby one (3 ft) off a nest to relocate to a pond. The mama was on her way back and I was running with a heavy burlap sack back to the boat. It was pretty gd intense. She almost got me. A lot of hissing and that bitch was moving. thank god i had a huge head start.

    unfortunately found the one I moved in a fish trap a couple weeks later. dead as fuck.

    Would've love to see your ass running through the tall grass with that burlap sack over your back. Sure you looked like ol Tom Sawyer.


    Dam, so much opportunity here but just got in and had a few beers while setting my lines in a different spot. In a bayou tonight trying to get the ultimate. Confidence level about 5 so not banking on anything.

    Got some turtle sauce piquante heating up from left-over last night so going chow down.

    I knew you were the one from the beginning. Oh you mean the gator. Because I was a stupid teenager transporting a gator to a gatorless pond. of my uncles next door. he wasnt happy because they eat all the fish. I dont know what we were thinking. pretty sure he was glad to see it dead.


    Wasnt very well thought out. my buddies were ahead of me. I was the lunch.

    Reminds me of the story about the two guys in the woods who come up on the bear. One starts to run, other says, "No way we can outrun that bear." Second says, "I don't have to...I just have to outrun you." Sure you've heard it.
