The truth is that Ray Hubbard has had Alligators off and on for years. Very possible.

The American Alligator was native to this area until all the dams and reservoirs came about and stopped them from coming up river. The Paddle fish was also affected. Both are still around in lakes and rivers along with the side creeks. I have personaly gathered eggs from a nest at Lewisville with TP&W.

I have seen a gator at fork last year, water to cold my you know what!!! they are out there!!!

That doesnt look like a gator in that video. When they are swimming you do not see that much of the body. I lived in Florida for 14 years and know gators very well. I have even jumped on a few smaller ones in my younger and dumber days. I have lived here in Texas for a year and a half and have NEVER seen a gator. I have heard of them being around every now and then but the water around here just gets too cold for them to survive.

I used to jetski a lot in florida and I had a buddy that had an airboat. We used to go down the St Johns river just about every weekend. Some parts of the river you just know not to swim in. Especially during the week when there werent many boats out. But we still used to wake board and swim in the water. Most of the time the gaotrs are scared of loud noise and will stay away from people and boats. I am not scared of one until it gets to about 8 feet long. Anything smaller I am pretty confident I could handle if we got into it.
