'Two people who were fishing along the Lampasas River above Stillhouse Hollow Lake reported that they euthanized a massive alligator whose killing game wardens are investigating, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Lt. Billy Champlin said Thursday.
The two called an agency hotline Wednesday after killing the 11-foot alligator, which they said got hung up on a hook while they were fishing with a drop line for catfish, Champlin said.
The callers led game wardens to the alligator’s carcass, he said.'
Does sound odd. Something that big will normally snap a normal drop line hook.
May have been one of those, “Hey, Bubba, hold my beer and watch this.”
