By the way, WOTL (Word on the lake) is they just caught a more bigger one on Eufaula. Closer to 1,000 pounds.

The Eufaula gator was 920 pounds and 13 feet long. There was another caught in Alabama last year - I don't remember where - that was 1,100 pounds and 15 feet long.
These are the top 2 reasons why I only swim in swimming pools.

I don't think there is whole lot of swimming going on at Lake Eufaula anymore, only a select few locations. I will tell you this, I nor my children went swimming there knowing gators were about. I think the north side of the lake was the most gator concentrated but even then me no swimmeth. If I remember correctly, GH had a run in with the smaller ones as they eyed him while he sipped some cold drink.

From the Cool story, bro files. Several years ago, me and a buddy were fishing on the Chattahoochee. We saw several gators sunning on the banks all during the morning. Came up on what looked like it could be a monster gator but my buddy says, "Naaa...that's a tree that fell over."
Well get closer, it looks like a gator.
No it's a tree...HOLY SHIT, IT'S A GATOR!!!!
Well, get us the frippity fruck out of here....NOW, DAMN YOU.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and we're up at the in-laws cabin on Eufaula. A gator comes in the slew (sp?) and folks start calling the game warden. (No, not the same gator) What's the Swamp People show where they "Choot him...CHOOT HIM"? They send one of those guys out. He looks and smells like someone from the show but he's official. Got a patch and everything. He starts casting a big ole treble hook out trying to snag him but the gator keeps avoiding it. He then set the traps out with the hanging bait like you see on the Choot him show. Caught him the next day. Anywayz, long boring story short, I told Swamp Thing about the gator we saw and he knew exactly what and where we were talking about. He said he had traps out for it now and it was 14 feet and well over 1,000 pounds.
All I know is we were in a boat and he was on the shore....and if he had even budged an inch, I would have soiled myself and started screaming like a 4 year old.

Yes...theyve eyed me while fishing...and while swimming amongst them. I have to deal with them swimming the hooch for races. And sharks/jellyfish in the effing ocean. I think I need to go back to running full time.

For some reason all the dangerous shit in the ocean never bothered me. I guess spending so much time in it but something about gators in murky water just fucks with my head.

They will also hide under your bed. I hate that.

I've seen one spar with three tigers-ended in a draw.They will also leap out of a toilet bowl and bite that ass.

There is a creepiness about not knowing whats under the surface. At least with the ocean everything is seen. It freaks people out. So yeah, I get that.
I saw a small shark while I was doing an ocean swim back about a month ago in PCB. Freaked me the F out. Fucker was about 15-20 feet from me...saw the fin come up, then saw him underwater right after. Now, this thing was no bigger than a large cat/med sized dog, but still - it has teeth and is hungry. I quickly made a sharp 90 degree turn back to the shore. There were some schools of minnows in the area so my guess is that was what he was after.

You've done tons of races so you've had to train and race in all kinds of water. While training for the lone sprint tri I did several years back, I was using the one Olympic size pool here in Dothan to train. We had a storm and lightning hit the building it's in and knocked out a bunch of stuff, leaving the pool closed for weeks. It was a month before the race and no place to train. I was getting desperate so I made the brilliant decision to drive the 45 minutes up to the in-laws cabin on Eufaula and get my swim on in that slew. Hey, I had been swimming and skiing in that slew for 25 years. What could happen? Got up there and there wasn't a soul around. Quiet as gator waiting just below the surface. Walked down to the water....took one sweeping look across the slew...turned around...got in my car...drove back to Dothan.
I did run/bike/run 3 weeks later.

Its ok, the water was prolly cold.

You should have stole someones lap dog to use as a decoy.

Not really terrified of the gators. Certainly not such a pussy that I would drive 45 min to swim and then chicken out.
Having killed a panther with a pocket knife and growing up an avid outdoorsman, that probably gives me the confidence to know I can handle a gator. The same confidence that drunk guy in La. had a while back, where the "Warning: No Swimming--Alligators" signs were posted.
But, I have been pretty close to gators while in the boat and I've never seen or even heard of a gator attacking somebody in broad daylight UNLESS there is a dog around. The dog makes a big difference. They like Chihuahua, schnauzer, Great Dane, you name it.
Numerous stories in S Fla of Pam walking Bitsy down the bike trail and Losing half a leg and all of Bitsy.
When I was a kid, I can remember an armless traveling preacher coming to our church one Sunday. The best I recollect, he lost all of one and part of the other at Point A in Covington Co. while on an afternoon stroll with his dog. They stepped in to cool off. I think he tried to save the dog but I don't recall that part.
Sharks on the other hand? WT don't mess with.
"Let's go out to the sandbar and drink some beer WT"
No thanks guys, just leave me some Bush Light here on the beach and I'll be just fine here.
Had a buddy attacked by a freaking sand shark while fishing in the Bay. Smaller than what GH described probably. He said it was like a big catfish. Tore his ass up, or his calf and shin. It was a bunch of stitches.
Sharks is sneaky.

That reminds me of a story
I was walking the beach one day and I saw this women sitting in a chair with no arms or legs. I decided to stand and watch from a distance.
A fellow beach walker happened by and I heard the woman say. "Excuse me sir, I have never been hugged before can you do me a favor and hug me?"
The man stopped and gave the woman a hug.
I noticed as he was walking away she yelled out to him, "Excuse me sir! I'm sorry but I have never been kissed before, can you kiss me too?"
He seemed irritated but still went over and gave the woman a kiss.
As he is walking away the woman says,"One more thing sir! I have never been fucked before, can you fuck me?" At this point the beach walker seemed pissed yelled hell no and ran away.
Being the Godfather I decided to help the woman out.
I said "I believe I can help you ma'am". So I picked her up, tossed her in the ocean and said;
"YOU'RE FUCKED NOW!"
Good times.

You know, I thought that I knew you and I do think that you can be a little harsh at times but this was over the line.
That was a really cruel thing to do, asshole.

I met a guy from just south of Thibodaux, Louisiana one time who hunted alligators for a living. Everybody around south Louisiana said he was a hell of a man. Didn't matter how big or mean the gator was, he could trap it. And the unique thing was he'd just use one hand. Well, he had to because a gator bit his left arm off at the elbow.

Was extremely warm...late July, Florida.

I've heard of him. He was the son of Dr. Mills South and his pretty wife Hannah.

Yep. He got in trouble with the Sheriff for doing some illegal gator hunting. The Sheriff went looking for him in the swamp but apparently got lost.

Served him right for trying to put the squeeze on some godly poachers trying to eek out a living.

The man you guys are talking about was Amos Moses. He actually lived about 45 minutes south of Thibodaux and when he was a kid, his dad would tie a rope around him and use him as alligator bait.
He used to knock the alligators in the head with a stump.
He was named after a man of the cloth.

No, you big dummy. You're thinking of the guy in that song.
This guy we're talking about lived about 45 miles southeast of Thibodaux Louisiana. 45 miles south of Thibodaux will put you in the Gulf of Mexico.
