This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

What kind of fish is that?...Looks like a cross between a croc and a fish.

Hugh for sure.

What do you do with that thing once you've killed it? I can't imagine they're good eating, but would hope it won't go to waste. You could certainly feed a lot of people with it.

It's enormous!

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

HUGE,,,,don't know if you'd catch me swimmin' in d'em waters :shock:

Seen them before on the 'net quite neat actually,,, BUT,,,, get too big for me to feel comfortable swimming in their waters especially with the word "aligator" in the name :?

Yeah...I guess one would think twice about swimming around these critters given that they grow to 13' / 300lbs.

JP, have I got a deal for you

If you want the experience of something that big at the end of your line, next week when I get back we can head out and you can tie on to me and toss me out in the rapids on the western Parkway.

Should serve about the same as that beast---except when you try to boat me or beach me watch out for the upper-cuts---they really sting from a leftie.

Take care
