Alrighty then! Wow did we have a blast last Wednesday, we were tagged out by 8:30. Now this was my first time at this and I really have to say there is nothing like when you have a line down and your partner pulls that head to the surface! We left out of the landing around 6:30 and went to our first line, still up. Went to the next one...down! We approached the tree and Travo came around me and slowly pulled the line until OMG, there is a gator on this line! I must say there must be an art to hitting that sweet spot, but I bought plenty of 22s to shoot that thing! LOL Our first gator was a 7'2" female, real nice gator for Cross Lake. On to our furthest line we had the GoPro on the first one and it died just as we got to the second one. Dang! Anyway we pulled up to the tree and the gator was really dug in the roots of the Cypress tree. Travo gave a good tug and up came a beautiful 7'3" male who I dispatched fairly quickly. We were tagged out first morning! Wow and I had a super great time with my son Travis, as fine a man as I know, young or old.
We carried them over to Sarepta, LA to the buyer and he bought the both of them and took pictures as he said the male was so pretty. I am having both heads mounted and they are processing the meat for me...and I got a check for $115 to boot after paying for the mounting. Chootem! Chootem!
