Good day on the wando. Took the girlfriend out to nowell creek and got some blowups and 1 nice trout in the boat. Decided to move back to the cooper just in case the rain came down. Set up shop in clouter creek and i hear B tell me that she thinks she sees a gator. Sure enough it was a big ole boy at least 10 feet. He starts swimmin to my cork (MM) and just chomps the whole cork. Drag starts screaming and i cant believe i have a gator on my pole. I didnt want him to swallow the cork so i fought him for a bit, and finally after ten minutes he opened his mouth and cork came out looking like shreds of paper. Gator swam away healthy and happy and we also retrieved the hook. Craziest thing ive ever caught.
same thing happened to us two years ago we had a gulp shrimp on a poping cork the gator took off with the cork then finally let it go with his teeth marks all in it. it was crazy

Don’t know what it is with gators and floats but they love the bright colored ones. Quit fishing with them in gcr because of it. now we just use the round ones about half the size of ping pong balls. They will latch on to a top water plug if they can get close enough.
