Congrats guys, my guess is you two fogies couldn't get that tiny lizzard in the boat so you had to tow it back, hence the long slow ride...

Charlie, you are correct! the Gator measured 11' and he weighed 285lbs! We could not pull him in the boat, when we got to the boat ramp, we hooked a come-a-long to him and winched him over the side into the boat!

Benjy and I ground up 25 1.5lb bags of meat, and my wife Shirley and I made 27lbs of different kinds of sausage with the rest. Thats right, after the 25 bags we still had enough to make all that sausage! I tried just frying some unground meat up to try, but it was like chewing a boot. Gave what we just could not eat to my dogs and the Lab looked at me with this 'What the heck did you give me?' look in his eyes. Had hot sausgae and eggs for dinner a couple nights ago and it was pretty good.
