    almost hard to believe....



    I threw out some scan in an area that had 3-4 gators floating around in deep water and shot this. Could it be? Have a good hard look and use your imagination. If the scan caught the animal in mid paddle - when the animal's tail was thrusting away from the beam, it could make sense that this is a gator chasing a school of big fish.

    Sorry for the poor quality. This was taken 3 weeks ago before I knew how to dial in the equipment. None the less.. could it be?

    Looks like a gator to me. however, Im not sure if that is baitfish or the bubbles/turbulence from whipping the tail to get away. Either way, cool pic

    Not sure a whole lot of imagination is needed. It looks like a gator to me. Very cool picture.

    gator!

    great shot

    doubtful the "bubbles" are turbulence, most likely baitfish

    Re: (jimmy7)

    There were balls of bait and gators all over that area. Think it was a gator chasing bait.
