finally after fortyfive minutes of doggedly fighting the bang stick comes in.

after 5 more times it is quiet enough

I had a blast. It was funny to hear Jim say I wasn't planning on one that big!!! I can't believe we got it to fit in the freezer!! lolh:occasion14 Congrats Big Jim!!! Well deserved!!

[Randy Clark]

[LockedWings87]

Thanks Sid.

Nice pics Randy. I think this one was a group effort.:toothy10:

AJ it was on a different lake. The hunt area was Lake Jessup that we drew for the season. We had one tag left for Jim and amazingly enough we finished with a huge bang.
It has been one heck of a season for me personally. I got to take my son with me for the first time he got to see several gators that night, overall the guys that drew tags that I helped with our score this season was 6-0 we filled every tag we had. I do have another friend who wants to fill his tags and I hoping scheduling will be ok to get him to Jessup to fill his tags. Overall we killed an 11' 6", 10' 8", 10' 1", 8', 7' 10", 7' 8". The best part of it all was the time spent hunting with good friends and the memory's from all of the hunts. Oh and I almost forgot getting to hunt with Chia pet that was the most fun of all!!! :occasion14 Sorry Randy I could not resist!! :toothy10:

Nice Lizard - ya'll have done a great job in removing some really nice sized gators from that lake this year.

Chia Pet? You referring to that crap on Matt's chin?

naw he came out one time with out a ball cap and his hair was sticking up like a short fro. so sid laid into him. but Matt enjoyed the ribbing even more..

Uncle Randy, your are getting pretty good with camera. You may give Hitch a run for his money this season.

Hitch, don't forget the camera again. I was looking forward to those Dove pics.

thanks for the kind words chad. but alas im no were as good as hitch. my pics of the gator at jim's place show i still dont pay attention enough to backgrounds and lighting. but still i certainly do appreciate that you think there good enough to mention hitch in the same sentence:smileinbo
