Whad'ya get 'em on Catt?
(this better not be another Boga Grip plug, ;D)
Red reply :
how long do you think that thing is?
Mrs. Matstone reply :
That thing is huge and scary and I think you should be very careful fishing anyplace close to that. 
Low_Budget_Hooker reply :
Have you ever seen Catt?....that one might be a draw
bassnleo reply :
That guy would make ALOT of shoes 
Catt reply :
LBH, I got him on Kodak EasyShare Z740 with 10X zoom
TheRedTorpedo, I would say around 12-14' in length; the absolutely largest I've ever seen in Lacassine
Mrs. Matstone, the reason for 10X zoom is that there is no need to get close
bassnleo, I did think about a tail gate party before next weeks Florida/LSU game; that gator tail would be mighty tasty cut into steaks and put on the pit.

Is this for real? If so, is that the best eating part, the tail meat? What is it comparable too? Is it fishy? Gamey?
Catt reply :
Dude alligator is awesome fried, grilled, or in a Sauce Piquant; the tail can be cut into steaks; any of the meat can be fried or made into a Sauce Piquant.
Many times for a Super Bowl party I would take the entire body marinate it over night in Wishbone Italian salad dressing and slow cook it on a Bar-B-Que pit.
Gator doesn't taste fishy or gamey, it has a taste all it's own; I've never had anyone tell me they didn't like it as long as I never tell them what it was before hand.
Some thing about a mental picture

Florida vs LSU is the Super Bowl..........
That is a big gator and here in the south there are a lot of them (I'm sure Catt sees them reg also). I see 3 or 4 (not quite that size often) every trip.
You can get a permit to hunt them here every year now.
This one was around 10' that I saw not long ago
MemphisFisherman reply :
Man I sure am glad we don't have croc's around where I fish, if we did I don't think I would fish....I couldn't imagine sticking my rod down into the water trying to get unhung, or liping a fish from the water if there was even the slightest chance a croc could be down there.
Ky_Lake_Dude reply :
wouldn't a swim be nice and refreshing
Deb reply :
Wow........what a guard gator that would make He could just hang out in the swimming pool and lounge on the front deck............... :
He and the Rott could take turns scaring off unwanted visitors
Very cool pics, Catt!
Dirk_Jig---Lure reply :
I've only seen 1 gator in my life, at Fork on the first BR trip. I don't think I would want to fish around THAT one!!
T-rig reply :
Those are huge bass!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I wouldn't even go close to that place with those gators around!

That sounds delicious, Gator is a tasty meal! 
tallydude reply :
Agreed. Gator is excellent. However, it can be a bit chewy if not cooked properly.
BackOnTheWater reply :
What a gorgeous gator!
AnglerNFuego reply :
I remeber fishing at the golf course pond down in Jacksonville, Fl and seeing a couple of gators swimming around, not to mention when you hear the babies crying. That always gave me the heebie jeebies. Great picture by the way!
Jake. reply :

Well, to each his own I guess. Ate gator ONCE.....
biggest gator I ever saw was near the spillway at Stickmarsh/farm13.
They are so prehistorically evil looking.
