this is how you catch gators:

use a "catfish" hook. burry the hook into your bait. tie the line to a tree. coil about 80 ft of line onto something by the tree. stick your bamboo in the water and have a clothes pin attached to the bamboo suspend the bait out of the water to whatever height that you desire. the higher the bigger gator.

gator will take the bait and will digest it because he has 80 ft to swim. once the bait is in his gut, he won't fricking move. when he does, the hook gets him and it hurts like hell. simply shoot the gator when he rises to surface like a piece of driftwood.

So since Yall use that long of line do you typically run into issues with the gator wrapping that line around a sub surface log?

We run only 30 ft of line and it seems we have that issue every year with a gator going under a log and we can't pull him up, either he will drown himself or he's hung up.

Either way it's not a game to play to go under the surface to untangle the line and find out if he's still alive or dead.

this has been my experience. the gators that had a hook in their stomach were pretty docile. that shite must really hurt
