I run like a little girl when I see snakes, I think I would p**p in my pants if I saw a gator in the lake!

LOL.....
Make sure you do this out of the lake or it will start a new thread...

LOL... Believe me, If I saw a crok or a gator on the lake, there would be more than just a thread started on this forum!!!!! People would see me running on the surface of the water. The only good place for reptiles, other than far from me, is Florida or the Zoo. Not my beautiful lake!

I caught a huge snapping turtle swimming on the surface in front of the house once. It was probably around 40 pounds. I pulled it in by the tail to show everybody and then released it. It went right back to swimming on the surface. I've never seen a snapper do that before this one. It sure was determined on getting to it's destination.

My step-grandaughter was visiting us last summer and is leery of any "water-creature." I assured her that there were no human predators in the lake. When I finally convinced her to take a dip, she came screaming out of the water and indicated her sighting of a sea monster. After chiding her in a nice way

I investigated and found a very sick 3 foot cusk at the surface. I must admit that until I realized what it was, it was a little scary looking. Who knew?? She now refuses to reenter the lake and I have lost all of my "wildlife" credibility.
