nice fish !!! ;D why is that gator out the water and lookin at you ?

omg i never knew a bass got that big....i bet it was hard to land ..good fish you the man..... LOL

hey that looks like my crappie rig except 1 hook ....i sometime catch Lm bass when crappie fishing the deepest part of the lake on minnows.. im going to try this drop shoting now .!!!

i agree ... thats the beauty of fishing its a different challenge every time i go out to fish... the weather, the moon phase, wind pattern , cold fronts ,blue bird sky etc..its always changing so try the lizard and see...

thanks for all the great info ... and im not really scared i just dont know what to do if i enconter these animals... and im alwayz cautius when i do something new... i never jumped out of plane and if i was going to do so i would ask questions first ...ive been in florida all my life and i have much respect for gators and snakes...lol espiecally on their turf lol.... they can build all the pretty houses they want this is still the Swamp ...lol

surfer thanks for the advise .. 1 problem i was thinkin more like wack the snake with the paddle or somthing ... i hate snakes im going to prey i never have one get on my boat.... but i love fishing so much im going to fish anyway... i just wanted to no what to do if one got on my boat... sometimes my 5yr old son likes to fish with me... i dont think i have the balls to handle a snake.. and good luck with surfing i know i am never doing that....no way!!! lol....

ok i think i will be ok with the gator .... so the gators aren't aggressive ... now the other day i was watching a fishing show and a snake swimed up to this boat and was atempting to get on the boat ....it was big and black.... the dude picked it up and turned it around ... their is know way im picking up a snake ....lol i hope i dont jump out the boat if i see one in the boat.....lol i seen one in the cattails the other day just laying their i went to the other side of the lake after that .... i think it was a mocassin i know i sound like a punk but i have to get over these phobia's

ok i guess cause im new to boating i dont know what to expect from the gator ..all i know is every time i see one i head the other way and when im searching weeds and catails all im thinking is plz dont let me see a gator...lol...i guess with time i will get over it i,ve only been boating a 2months now ........!!! lol
