Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 26, 2012 at 7:29pm: Some awesome pics - love the carp and choupique fotos.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 26, 2012 at 7:21pm: Hoo- wee the group for me! Nuttin but funky fish!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on January 26, 2012 at 6:40pm: 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.

Comment by Tony Livingston on January 26, 2012 at 6:35pm: 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!

Comment by Dwayne Denison on January 26, 2012 at 5:59pm: 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.......
