Its all good Hoyt, im still somewhat new to the game, but you sound like you know what your talking about.  Im sure you get so much crap because you know so much and everyone has high expectations of you. Knock em dead this weekend.  I am headed out to the local river in about an hour.

netting a gator of any size is not needed. Bring them to the boat. put a finger or hand in the mouth the other around the tail and lift. They just get tangled in the nets and will only harm them self more.

I agree, I have no idea when this netting thing started.... and we got 1 keeper and 17 oversize this weekend

I'll jump in Hoyt! If that fish was to be released don't EVER handle one like that again!!

Hoyt,

Where have you been fishing? do you run trips @ the Bonnie erea or are you down by Camus. Post a pic of yer boat I might know you if I see the boat. Not to many Koffler boats out. The only other one I know is Keith's white 20' boat.

I run a 21' Willie Raptor forward helm. Marron with ghost flames and a 200 Sport Jet.
I'd post a pic but just havn't figured it all out yet.

Hey...  Thanks for the compliment........  Small though?  Hmmm, 20 x 72" ain't too small in my book....

Small when compared to the boats some of these guides run. But they won't get into the places in the summer like the smaller boats can.


Good to see ya on this forum!!
