I went on a alligator hunt this past weekend in the Pascagoula River. This was a new expierence for me and a lot of fun. To qualify, you must be drawn from a pool of applicants, go to alligator school, and have what it takes to go after the toothy dudes. I will try to post a picture. this gator was 10'6" long and weighed 245 lbs.

I am not sure but I think I learned to ski in that river. Is it the one down at Vancleave? I remember sking right over a gator once. It was between me and my cuz. She saw it, I didn't. She gave me the big jaw signal with her arms. I will say it gave a whole new meaning to staying up on the ski.

We sold this gator for $30. bucks a foot. It was 4 am when we got in and to tired to fool with it. I am still trying to figure out how to attach the pics.

Nice Gator......Hawk you need to offer him what you think is fair, but you know as well as I do, dressing those things out can be a pain!

Man. Bringing back some memories. Vancleave. Paige bayou, sumrall, swift, crooked, pine island. Grew up going to Fitzgerald's camp on Johns bayou. Done the ski over gator, too! Buddy was "slaloming" around a stump each time we passed it. Well, got close enough, not a stump, but a gator steaming up the edge! Many hours on that john boat w/ 25 hp. "Ms Budweiser" we called her.

We called ours Crazy Horse. It was a 14 stauter with a 50 on it. Then Johnny Bishop had a 14 ft. riveted with a 25 evinrude. I called it the Leakazoid, it had been ran up onto one too many sandbars....Man, those were the days. I think they eventually sunk the Leakazoid.:smt102
I really miss hydro-slidin' down there, you could start at the mouth of the river and go for 20 miles without turnin' around.:smt023

When are you gonna' go back down there? I have been tryin' to rally a couple of buds to go and stay on the boat now that it's cooled off a little.
