Remind me to go swimming in a pool and not in a lake. Geesh...Alligators are not my friends.
No kidding. This thing looks downright scary.
That’s a gar, not an alligator. It’s a fish, but a very prehistoric lookin’ sucker. Used to catch them in Kemah/Clear Lake area when I was a kid (none that big, of course).
Always threw them back if they made it to shore, usually cut the line as soon as we knew for sure what it was.
