Big green FISH?

A little change of pace for me, but we got to spend a little time alligator hunting, swamp peeps style! We used the "hunt and snatch" method with no baiting. This style allows us to leave the smaller lizards alone and target gators that are over the 8 foot mark. I had the opportunity to allow my 9 year old son to help us out on the trip, and wouldn't you know it-success on his first try! This fella went 10 feet 3 inches! He was caught on a 65 pound spinning rig and put down by my friend Malcolm with a .357 mag bang stick.
