Cool picture Shannon. I see them quite often down in Safford, Al and something down below Oliver dam. I am surprised they arent in Oliver Lake or Holt yet.

That's a nice one! I've been seeing them down there for about ten years now but I havn't seen any this year. The babies LOVE buzzbaits!! Where was that one at?

JSB · « **Reply #5 on:** April 13, 2008, 04:49:09 PM »

He was in the slough above Longs Landing. I have seen several down there also over the years but they usually smaller. That one is the biggest that I hve seen. He was a probably about 7 feet. That is not real big but nice for down there.

Nice shot Shannon! It even smiled for ya!

The last one I saw down there was near the entrance to Lubbub Creek several years ago.

Wow, thats crazy. No gators here. Thank God.!!!

So any of you guys catch any off a swimbait?

JackJ · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:22:15 AM »

I did not try.

Did anyone else try any?

E_Bassfisher · « **Reply #12 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:26:24 AM »

i fished the swimbait, but i sure wasnt trying to catch a gator!!!

JSB · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2008, 09:51:29 AM »

We did not fish a swimbait. Maybe we should have.

JSB · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14, 2008, 11:21:07 AM »

I don't know if everyone heard but along with the alligator Saturday, we (me and Ellis) also had a snake get in the boat with us. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it. So we had an eventful day.

JackJ · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2008, 11:42:23 AM »

I cant beleive you didn't get a picture (of at least Ellis's face)

JSB · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2008, 12:39:05 PM »

It happened so fast I couldn't. It sure scared Ellis cause it was back there with him. When I turned around the snake was going across his seat out of the boat. The snake was about 4 feet long. It got everyones attention that was involved. I'm just glad that Ellis didn't have gun.

Get this, I was catching several 12 to 14 inch fish on an 8 inch Luck E Strike swimbait during practice but, I could never get a big bite on them. You'd think a fish that size would run from a bait that big.

Shannon, are you sure you're not related to Steve Irwin?

JSB · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2008, 03:05:26 PM »

I don't think so Brad. Our accents are little different.

Buzzbait · « **Reply #19 on:** April 14, 2008, 07:02:42 PM »

David fished a swimbait for awhile...Didn't catch any on it though.

Bandit 200 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 15, 2008, 07:12:06 AM »

I fished a swimbait for a little while...no luck though!

Nice gator pic!

David
