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.


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

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.

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

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