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.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

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.

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 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,
