A few years ago my Dad and I were fishing in Birch when we saw a disturbance in the water. We found an alligator snapper way bigger than that hung up in an old trotline. We cut her loose and she followed us around for awhile! When they come up for air you only see the tip of their nose, so it's very deceiving how big they really are. Neat prehistoric monsters! Sure don't know how you got that one in the boat!

Yea It's true. They won't let go until it lightnings. I'd hate to have to carry that thing around for a few days. Waiting for a storm.

one of them bad boys was on Williams bridge on Sunday, someone had stopped to move him off the road but couldn't (or didn't really want too)figure out how to get a hold of it. That sucker was hissing and spittin and snappin, I wished I'd got it on the cell phone. Dude finally grabs the tail and slung back in the weeds.
