Sometimes fishing on the Marsh/Farm means catching the small ones also.

Nice small one  ;D

                                  Now that's a smallie I can do without!

                               

                                                                              :

What it weigh?

baby gator eat it or is this a Boga Grip ad??  ;D (seriously, I bet they would love to use that pic)

If you look closely to the left of the Boga Grip you can see the chug bug. At $3 and change we don't give lures to gators. I took it out right after this pic and really didn't pay attention to the weight. However, at about 6 feet long I would guess about 90 pounds.

I'd rather loose a cheap chug bug then handle one of those!

Normally I would agree but I bet GW has dealt with these guys before.  Also, at that size, with more than 1 guy, he is more than manageable.

Heck, it's just an overgrown friendly lizard. Not as smart as a Gecko, or they would be featured for GEICO.

This guy wanted a Gambler flappin shad - can't be giving them away either

Have to save that shad for something like this:

That would make a nice pair of boots!

Hook a guy up George

We'll make a point of it if you come this year Ray.

George my vacation down there this year is put on hold! Was planning on another late Jan. trip to Melbourne but the BWS National Championship in GA this Nov. will take it's toll on my funds. If I do well and pick up some winnins a second vacation will be in order and I'll be there guarenteeeeeeed

HOLY CRAP!!! i wonder what kinda fight that thing put up!!!!! that musta spooled you!

Wow. Wouldn't they just cut the line with their teeth when they get hooked?

Well Congrats on your catch..  better you than me. I would have given him my whole rod if that is what it took to get away from him.

wow.

loooks windy.

i myself have cuaght 7 footers and took the lure out of their mouth.

but that was a LC 24.99 bait.

ive always wanted to get out to stickfarm/marsh or whatever.

but it is too far downsouth. I fish rodman alot

GW is stick farm overrated or not>? :-?

You see the pictures, you decide.

that gator is something i never want to catch! ;D ;D

that is definately one rowdy catch!!!!  ;D

I'd be scared to death if I caught that .

Most often gators do not actually get hooked. If they are hiding in grass they will grab at top water baits, but with a mouth like shoe leather the hooks don't penetrate. However they do not want to give up their prize. Gators realize that for the most part you are their only predator so once near the boat they panic, open their mouth, and you have your bait back. They play just like a big bass, however for the most part without long runs and you would be supprised how big of a gator can be brought in on 20# line.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend handling them if you don't have a clue what you are doing. They have a nasty set of chompers and a tail that could put a kink in your leg.
