Alligator found in Danny's fishin hole
 
:err: :eek5: :eyes:
Yesterday evening they found an alligator in the fishin hole my son Danny catches all his fish in. It was in the Brockton Enterprise(although they didn't give the correct credit, my friend Mike McGourthey ducktaped the beast for the EPO) and Fox 25 was there tonight.
I guess it was over 50" long.
we were gonna go last night too but I went to the cape instead.
I can imagine if Dan ever hooked up with that beast, and I thought seals were bad :rollem:
Probably some drug dealer let it go cause it got too big :nailem:

Thats scary stuff Bruce. Thank God nothing bad happened.

Karl F 09-19-2005 09:07 PM

Wow Bruce.. that woulda been scary if you and Danny tangled with that, certainly not something you'd expect!
Good thing you changed up your plans!
Although, if Dan had caught that, hmmm. is there a Mass. State record for landing an alligator :huh: ;)

My uncle started raising a gator for the purpose of eating it.

He had some "life changing expiriences" and couldnt care for it anymore... It was still really small so we brought it to this guy who had a HUGE enclosure and runs a reptile biz.

Shame too.. its been 4 years or so.. would of just about been eatin size!

likwid 09-20-2005 02:22 PM

Thats right, it was delivered back to "him".

I totally forgot about that day. :rotf2:

Caimens have a skinny snout. I don't think they're native to the US. Lots of them in South America. They're probably the least aggressive of the crocodilians.

Bruce, maybe the alligator heard there were some seals around the Middleboro area. Good to hear that your son was not fishing down there at the time.

Slip, I saw Mike at work today. Called him the 'Gator Wrangler. Mike and I work in the same dept. He works days, me, nights. Funny bastard! :rotf2:

A woman was on the new friday morning saying she saw one at a pnd in Abington, but it has'nt been caught yet as far as I know.

They used to sell em in florida.people would take em home to the city on the urges of children.when they would grow an freak people out they would flush em down the toilet.they say the sewer system in NY has some monsters in it.
Remember those rubber ones with the tube an squeeze ball to make em hop.would get em at coney island.
