Yak, If we make that Fork trip in June, I would be down to go look for some. I have always wanted to see some in the wild, just don't know how close I will be wanting to get to them!!

Awesome story!
Not to derail this thread, but what IS a good lake in Texas to find gators, preferably as close to DFW as possible? I've been wanting to get some footage of some from my kayak. Caddo, Fork, Rayburn, T Bend, are not all close to DFW, but are the ones you won't have a problem finding them.

I never knew canyon had any gators and have fished it 4 years.
Go up the river channel after dark with a Q-beam. Their eyes will open your eyes. There are hundreds of alligators in Canyon. Yup, there are thousands of them on Lake Austin, too.

Before anyone gets any brite ideas, just a reminder that killing of even catching alligators on purpose in texas is illegal and can get you fined big time.
Fort Worth Nature Center had someone last year or the year before shoot a gator from a boat. They claimed it attacked them in the boat. They were fined several thousand dollars if I remember correctly.
