    Rode over to the Hilltop Ice House and met a few friends for a few Redneck Budweisers. Was comin home.
    Was passing over a bridge on Sandy Creek on Lake Livingston where I live and seen this in the creek.
    Took the picture with my I Phone from the bridge.
    Can't zoom it in with it in focus anymore.

    Real Good................

    Its a Big Gator that is over 10' long and has his mouth open.

    I see a lot of gators, but ususaly don't see one this long.

    Somebody told me they see a new pair of boots.
    I told them to come on down and I will take them to their new boots, they can go over and git them and lace em up...............:D

    I ain't jackin with a Big Gator, they ain't scared of people and if'n they are hungry you might be dinner for them.

    Yer kiddin right !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We will be workin on Boats and see them.

    We will see kids swimin in the water and they will be a few hundred feet from them floatn in the water.

    When we go fishin and git into big creeks. we see them.
    Best thing is Not to jack with them and whatever you do don't feed them.
    When they start gittin over 8' they become not scared of people and I don't trust them.

    If you have a dog and it gits in the water. You might not git him back.

    Funny you say water Ski'n.

    There is a lot of people that knee board and water ski on this lake.
    I did it years ago.
    And Livingston is the 2nd biggest lake entirely in Texas.
    And I'm not in good enough shape to water ski anymore, especially after December.
    If'n my Doctor even thought I was thinkin about trying to water ski he might say it ain't gonna hurt him, and kick my butt.
    I'm still a littel slow.Ski'n is for younger folks anyhow..
    Trying to jerk my ass up out of the water would hurt me.

    If there's one thing we got no shortage of is gators.

    A lot of the folks in the creeks puts a fence up along the water so the gator won't git in the yard and bother their dogs.

    And its really best like I said.

    Do NOt Feed the Gators. It will make them become unafraid of you of you and become accustomed to people givin them food.
    That's when you might git bit.

    We was over by the state park on the other side of the creek from us.

    We was pitchin some lizards around a boat dock in like 6' of water.
    Seen 2 chic's under a boat house we was trying to flip.
    I Screamed Gator********

    Ond the chic's hugged the inside poles even closer and said where did he go.
    I replied I was just kiddin.
    They said no they was one about 7' that came swimin in about 5 minutes ago.
    They was scared to try to make it to the ladder and git out of the water.
    I tole them he won't eat much , I'm sure he will only eat one of you.
    The other one can make it out of the water and go for help:D
