Was fishibg sat on Fork with my wife, when she ask me honey what is that ? pointing to part of a log over by the bank,, it kinda looked like a alligator head but also looked like wood.

So i pitched my jig over it and brought it back over the eye area it did not move,, so i told her see it is just a log that looks like an alligator.

Just as i am about to make another cast this log thing goes under an my wife is going crazy,, i told you is was an alligator, sure enough not 30 feet later this thing comes up and start swimming down the bank,, looked like 10-12 feet long.

Great time with the wife for her to see this in the wild.

Dang,thats a biggun! and how'd you get your wife to go fishing!

That would make my wife want to fish with me....NOT

Where on Fork was it?

I heard there was a small gator population on Fork, I just thought it was a rumor.

Looks like we might need some help!

I have a cousin that when we would be wade fishing in the St Johns river in Fl he would cast to gaters looking for a meal. I had to repeatedly tell him to knock it off we were there for the fish not the gaters. Lord help us if one took the bait.

Yikes! My wife would have freaked!

where is it? maybe a gator will convince my girl she doesnt want to go anymore lol

As dry as its been, it probably had ticks.

Here is me out on Hawkins...

choot it choot it...

Heres a fork gator from this spring. Saw several up in Little Caney.

they don't bother fishermen,..but they do like a flea-do now and then.
