That river literally swarms with alligators. The kid WAS nuts to be swimming in it. Between attacks, the number of swimmers increases, but nonetheless it is just plain stupid to do it. Quite inexcusable.

There's a 50-acre lake behind my FL church, and in one week, the F&G boys removed a 12-footer and two 9-footers. The smaller ones look like driftwood.

Glad the young fellow made it, but an arm is one hell of a lot to give for what ought to be common sense everyday FL cracker knowledge.

That scene from Monty Python’s Holy Grail where the knight who lost his limbs in a duel threatens to bite the other guys kneecaps off comes to mind...
