Hay Cats! Your "Damn, that's a big gator" post of the day.

Pretty decent.
My best buddy had a permit for Cotile Lake. He and the wife went out to check the lines one morning, while I had to go to work. They called me later that morning to come out to the parking lot to see what they had.
I figured they had a good'un, but I wasn't prepared for the gator in the boat. The gator had a stump tail where he'd maybe lost six inches or a foot of tail in his life, but if he would have had his full tail, he'd have almost stretched the length of that fourteen foot bateaux. When they got home and put the tape on him, he was a twelve and a half-foot gator.
By far, the biggest I've ever seen.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of rig they have on that boat. That kinda looks like a crawfish trap they are passing, but it's a little different design than I'm used to.
BTW, it is mudbug season down here. Getting some big ones now...
