Ouch!


This isn't a photoshop crop, thats his arm in the gators mouth




I don't believe I'd be standing that close


they cut the gator open to get the guys arm out



transported the victim and his arm to MUSC





dead gator!



Last I heard (rumor), they were not able to reattach the guys arm, he is stable but in guarded condition

Glad they have hunting seasons on them here.
As for noodling, the DNR has posted in the fishing regulations basically making it legal here.
An employee of ours from Oklahoma asked if we noodle around here. My responce was only if your an idiot, between the moccasins, alligators and (threatened) alligator snapping turtles.
There ain't no way I'm wading around in the tea colored water and sticking my hand under boat ramps, in stump holes or river washouts.

They get well over 150lbs.

Thanks for the pics, Spare. That was one big ol' gator.

Noodling? It's INSANE!

I would bet money that ol' Stinky Hooker knows somebody that is a noodler. ;D ;D

I know of some noodlers, but I'm not related to any.
