I had a guy I worked with say he'd kill a Sturgeon if he ever happened to catch one because it looked scary and he wouldn't want it in the same water that his kids swim in. Dumbass.



my dad wants all sharks dead because they scare him. just stay out of the water, boomer.

Easy and wise solution was to move to a different spot.


That's just it - all three times this year I was catching bass before the gator showed up. After that, I was having to retrieve it so that I avoided the gator (which meant I was avoiding the features that were holding the bass).

Also not so sure about the "easy" part. In the Basin, when you're catching 3-4 lb. bass, nobody I know wants to just move.

I’m not sure where this gator was shot with the arrow or how it was found, but gators can live a long time with punctured lungs. It’s possible some idiot shot it and just wasn’t able to recover it. I’m assuming the gator went under and then was found floating once it bloated up?

A gator like that will take down pets quickly.

They will also follow your boat and bump there nose on it until they get an easy fish meal. Screw em

Good. They're overpopulated and mismanaged. We could use thousands more dead.

To think that they were once considered an "Endangered Species" and had Federal Protection when I was younger.

They have exploded in population and with gator farms supplying a lot of the hides and meat making hunting gators in the wild kind of a lesson in futility, I can only see the populations getting bigger as hunting them becomes not very cost effective.

I didn’t even think you could kill a gator with an arrow. I’ve never killed one before so I only go by what I hear, but I thought the only way to shoot and kill one is with a gun and shooting it in this one soft spot on its head

attacks in Louisiana are pretty much unheard of among folks who aren't dumbasses. You gotta be harassing them or beings straight up stupid to get attacked. Just googled it, the last fatal alligator attack in Louisiana was in the 1700s.



Meh. There was a story about a little girl who was swimming in Bayou De Cade and got bit on the head by a gator. Supposedly her dad waged jihad on as many gators as he could in that area.

I know those aggravating MFrs will ruin red fishing in the marsh in August down there. Kill as
Many as you can. They’re like nutria are this point
But without the terrestrial damage.
