ERNEST PATY TFF Celebrity Registered: 01/21/01 Posts: 6606 Loc: CARROLLTON, TX, US	This afternoon while fishing near the dam on the main lake Don and I saw what looked like a beaver swimming in the distance. I noticed something ahead of it about 18" moving along with it. As we watched something broke the surface about 8' behind it, like a black stick or snake. We decided to get closer to see what it was. When we got within about 50' we realized it was an alligator, a really big alligator. Head was about a foot across and total length was about 10'. Don was videoing it with his phone. We were about 20' away when it spooked and dove out of sight. Never saw it again. If the video turns out I will post it. Wouldn't have been surprised to see it up a creek or the river but down by the dam??? _________________________ www.catchcrappie.com P.O.

AustinS Outdoorsman Registered: 05/23/16 Posts: 118 Loc: East TX	Those things are turning up everywhere this year. Most have something to do with all the rain we've gotten. On a side note, I was in the back waters of Caddo a few days ago and didn't see any. They must have all moved west. _________________________ http://texasadventurer.com

DFW-fisherman Extreme Angler Registered: 04/01/11 Posts: 1289 Loc: DFW	Yep, pretty big one for Lake Lewisville. It was down by the dam where the COE is repairing the earth. I'm trying to figure out how to edit it and make it a smaller file. If someone knows an easy way - without spending money - let me know. It looked to be about ten feet long!

BlueNitro TFF Team Angler Registered: 06/08/10 Posts: 4553 Loc: Lewisville	We got flagged down about three weeks ago by one of the workers who pointed it out to us. He said he sees it often just cruising along that bank area. I would like to get some good video/pictures of it. _________________________ LiftSaver Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket - Patent Pending www.liftsavertmmount.com http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/12060753#Post12060753 http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/12042824#Post12042824
