Saw a gator on the news tonight that was caught at Lavon.
Anyone ever seen one there?
I have seen a couple at Fork.
Heard of ones at Hubbard and Tawakoni.
Had a friend catch one at Cado on a spinner bait in July.
I guess they are slowly making a come back.

What news was it on? I did a quick search and didn't find it.

No, I have not seen any out there myself.

I saw one about 4' long 9 or 10 years ago up past Mallard park underneath HWY 78 by the old road viaducts. I paddled up near the south side viaduct in my kayak and spooked it. It ran up onto the viaduct and jumped back into the water on the other side. I saw it from head to tail. I was pretty spooked myself when it busted out of the water. Pretty amazing. GOFISH

I took a picture of one about 4 ft long at Choke Canyon Thursday.

I don't always catch fish, but when I do, I prefer Dos Hybrids
