I fried one one time. The texture was a little weird.

That is one thing NOT on my bucket list! Have only seen gators at Choke Canyon and a couple of them were huge. Side Note: Congrats on yet another record! What is the catch&release size minimum on a gator? Good job guys!

Seems like gators being protected have made an impact on their population, hearing about and seeing more lately.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Thanks Curtis and Andrew for the replies. Curtis I think the size minimum for gators is 8 feet. Crocks is 10 feet. Andrew. I think we saw about six gators that day. A couple of them has some descent size.

Be aware of where you put your fingers when fishing around brush piles and log jams. I almost touched one that was laying next to a couple of logs blending in with among several logs one time while fishing the Nueces. That four footer must have been asleep as it never moved, and I jumped back screamed like a little girl.
Just one more cast!

Yes Sir Jim those gators came come up from just about anywhere! Side Note: They have spotted that big 12 footer in Calaveras Lake these past couple of weeks. Saw it on the news. That gator has been in that lake for about two years now!

Nice drum Chuck. Also Congtatulations on yet another record fish. Lord knows how many.
Side note. Great gator catch. See a lot of them on the Nueces by Three Rivers. I also heard that CPS is just going to leave the gator in Cally alone.

Down in the Beaumont area those drum are called gaspergoo. They have a run in the spring like white bass and it is a big event in the bayous. They are good eating and good fighters for their size. I've caught them and eaten them that were in the 5 lb area and they are stronger than bass. When they get much bigger than 5 lbs their flesh gets coarse and they are not as good to me.
You know that old saying "Some people march to the beat of a different drummer."? I don't listen to a drum at all and have meandered through life instead of marching.

Thanks Gitter and texdanm for the replies. Gitter: Did you guys see the Gator when you fished Cally the other day? I heard the same that CPS was going to leave it alone. Texdanm: I never ate a fresh water drum before but have heard they taste pretty good. The closest fish I ate to a Gaspergoo was a freshwater Red Drum! Side Note: Good fighting fish.

Friends of mine who have fished the lake this past week said the same. Lots of places for the gator to hide.
