Bruce Nunnally Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Seeing an alligator gar in the water while swimming can be a remarkable experience also. I am a big respecter of large animals with sharp teeth. As the fish peeled line, Crawford noticed a loop of the heavy cord laying at his feet. He picked up the line and wrapped it around his hand. Big mistake. Seconds later Crawford was face down in the water and in a bona fide tug-of-war with the monster fish. Amazingly, Bleux grabbed his master by the pants leg and held on tight until he was able to regain his footing. According to the story, Crawford eventually worked the fish to shore and used his cell phone to call for help. He eventually subdued the giant with shot from a pistol, then dragged it home with an ATV.

Texas Jim Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I read a story about that one.. They don't really know how much it weighed.... He said it pegged his scale at 300 pounds... That's all his scale would register... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
