Hoo- wee the group for me! Nuttin but funky fish!

Don't know Tony. Gator is fair game. Gators may be an apex, but surely, gator meat is just as good. So, apex-vs-apex. Reptile-vs-ape.

Jeffrey not only would I cut the line and let him have his chicken snack, but I would also dump the remaining bait overboard, in addition to whatever the day's catch consisted of...... a lighter boat comes up on plane quicker, the faster to get my butt the heck outta' there.

I have a standing rule: I don't fish anyplace where I'm not at the top of the food chain... 

Your made of better stuff than me!

Chicken livers are great for crawfish too

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 26, 2012 at 5:55pm

I'm saving you a spot for this Summer Tony........You automatically bring more chicken when crabbing in this lake because these gators always pay you a visit.....I don't mind because we still catch great numbers of blue crabs......I do get mad when they swipe a big crab from me sometimes and they like to do that.......

Choot Jeff Choot!

Comment by Florida Boy on January 26, 2012 at 5:53pm

Hmmm I need to go and get some good ol chicken liver and head down to the pond I think
