Was fishing the south shore of the point that divides White Oak and came upon a gator at least 12 foot. I have cell phone pics, but don't know how to post them.

Text me the pic I will put it on here I'll pm you my cell

love gators!

Earlier this spring there was a monster one in Double Oak, it would have gone 12 easy, it's head was wider than 12"inches

Tip of his snout to the front corner of his eye in inches will roughtly equal how long he is in feet. Of course, lots of guys have trouble with true lengths in inches.

Seen him several times in the past few years right there.

Fishing several years ago in my 8' mini-boat, I saw one up in the south fork of Long Branch that swam under my boat. I was standing up, and could see the gator under both the front and the back of the boat at the same time. My guess would be about 10'. I think it might have been an old one, for most of its face was white.

That was sunscreen

that white oak gator is a resident and is there a lot, he usually shy's away when it gets busy in the spring though, in the fall if you go in there and don't see him it's an oddity,

and i'd say 12 ft is about right.

Sent, thanks for the help.

I have seen his slide but have never seen the gator himself.

Here ya go

Hmm where in Double Oak was this, I never heard about it?

He's been in there for years, several 4-5 footers too, Double Oak but's up to the north end of Duck Call

thanks for the info

saw a 12 footer last month in birch. I call it pipeline cove 2 coves south of the 514 bridge.

Looks like a bed right behind him. I'd of flipped in there a couple times to see if there was a big ol hog on it

I sure wish I could find some private property to hunt one of these gators on.

It is a big gator for our area, but not anywhere close to 12ft. I think the slide measured 9'9" last year. Second pic is of the 12 footer that was killed 2 years ago in little caney. (not legally I might add) RIP

Big Critters for sure

Took these in March in double oak. Back left hand side

Choot 'im lizbut that's a tree shakah choot choot

That one in double branch is huge

I have yet to see one

We saw this one in white oak 2 years ago. looks like the same one!

Marc Mitchell has a cool story about gator vs. deer. Maybe he'll post it.

Saw one about 8-10' in Duck Call back in mid February. I pointed it out to a couple of guys and they finally saw it. That's the first one I've seen on Fork anywhere other than Little Caney.

We didn't get as close to that sucker as some of you guys..

OMG ... There was a baby alligator about 4ft long not far from Mustang Resort close to boat ramp. Dec 2012

That's what has been eating all of the bed fish! Add them to the hit list along with the Sand Bass and Gar!!!

If she eats too many of the 'protected' gar will the Warden write her a ticket? (and if a gator is over 6-8 feet it's a she)

If you are talking about the 1 in Possum, it became a nuisance. She had no fear of humans. I know back around '98 she was about 8' long then, when she would sun herself on the bank by the RVs, you could actually walk up to her and touch her, if you had the nerve. I believe it was Danny Frazier's son, Devin and some other people in the RV park moved her to the back of Little Caney north of the bridge. She was run over on 154 trying to get back to Possum.

That dude in little caney swam up bedside me back a couple years ago just as the sun was coming up .... snuck in between me and another boat - I saw him coming and the other guys didn't....I just kept fishing...all of the sudden the guys in the other boat saw him and lost it....they freaked, it was so funny, jumping all over the boat like little girls.

The gator went under just before it got to the bank, grabbed a big ole turtle and started chomping away....the other guys got the heck out of there and I had the whole area to myself! It was awesome.

Just where in the heck did you hear that? Males get much larger than females.

That's hilarious. Maybe it's because I was born on Caddo and have lived in East Texas all my life, but I realize there are gators in every lake I fish. I've seen them in almost every one of them. I don't bother them and they don't bother me.

fouzman is correct. Males can get up to 15 feet long, females can 'only' get up to 10 feet long.

Hahahaha that's funny! Need to watch more animal planet sir

Look like he's bed fishing

Little Caney gator from a few years ago when the water was way down.

He had a Lucky Craft sitting up on that chair...
