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! We saved one on a trotline on Livingston. My Dad said we had to save it cuz it was older then him. I said he wasn't worth a finger. Last edited by BMCD; 10/14/13 08:13 PM.
