    Can't really see it but know folks used to see them in Grassy Lake while Duck hunting. The AGFC stocked them all over and they move around in floods. I have seen them a few miles north of my home on Kingfisher Lake.

    I'm like you nimrod I couldn't really see it. My grandpa always told me when I was kid that the AGFC put some in lake Conway to help with the turtles.

    I've never seen one myself but I have buddies that bow fish nearly every night and claim to see them often.
    It's the real deal... I think it's pretty cool!

    X2 on grassy...
    I was told by my grandpa "Texans" come and killed them all out a long time ago...
    But yes, they were there... Could use some more to thin the beavers!
    I wonder while duck hunting... Was that a log I just tripped over

    That is coach Allbritton "Mayflowers HS Baseball coach" talking in the video.
    I'm pretty sure it's creditable.

    That is Coach Allbritton. He came stright to the office after he took that video and showed me. He was pretty pumped up and excited. It was a gator. We usually get a few reports each year of people seeing them at night while fishing. The gator he saw has been very visible during the day in that area of the lake. We have recieved mutliple reports of the same gator in that area. We also recently received a picture of a guy holding a 2-3 footer that he grabed in the lake. This leads me to believe that there is some reproduction going on.

    The cove by Paradise Landing. The reports are that it hangs out on the land between the interstate and the lake. I haven't had any free time to go look for it. Hopefully one day this week I will. If y'all go looking for it be careful. A decent sized gator could be a handful.

    Was he wearing any shoes? I've always heard of alligator shoes, but never seen a gator with any on.
