Racinbob 10,566 #1 Posted September 23, 2016 And frog legs, and catfish. I had the pleasure of meeting one of our Texas members today, oliver2-44. Jim and I met at Black Hammock and enjoyed some great conversation as we ate their sampler platter. Black Hammock is on the shore of Lake Jesup which has the densest gator population of any lake in Florida. I guess we could call this a Wheel Horse meet and greet Florida style. Jim, it was a true pleasure and if you're ever in the area again look me up. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,566 #4 Posted September 23, 2016 If he was rustlin I wouldn't have been sitting there. I would have been home guarding mine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,083 #11 Posted September 24, 2016 Wish I could have made it. Looks like a nice plate of food. This dang thing called work always gets in the way of fun. Oh well. We always drive over the 417 bridge at lake jesup and see how many gators we can spot out on the water. Not too many water skiers on that lake. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 2,916 #12 Posted September 24, 2016 Jim emailed me the day before and invited me to join them if was in the area. I told him even though I am in Florida it is still a 900 mile round trip for me. Not that 900 miles is too far to go for some good fried gator, frog legs, catfish and good conversation--especially when you are retired. But that afternoon while working on the PIA C-81 I stopped for lunch and had a RC Cola and a moon pie in honor of you guys. It's a Southern thing. Maybe next time.

oliver2-44 9,042 #14 Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks Chris & Richie yes a moon pie would have fit right in with that gator! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r356c 375 #15 Posted September 25, 2016 When an eleven footer chomps the front of your airboat, what else is there to do but gun it! Watching the gator try to scramble onboard as he was being dragged under had me in stitches for some reason. Those airboats are not made out of beer cans either. That is some bite pressure... http://www.wftv.com/news/local/angry-gator-takes-a-bite-of-mans-airboat/449477773 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r356c 375 #16 Posted December 22, 2016 A gal and her gator. This romance may end in tears one day. The State of Florida showed some real compassion letting this lass keep kissing her gator. http://www.wftv.com/video?videoId=477822990&videoVersion=1.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
