started off a bit later than we wanted , once we got there found out that he didnt get the crossbow she would have to harpoon it and cut it's spinal cord with a knife... we got out there just at dark........the bugs were horrible, no not horrible, traumatizing.....as soon as we got out of the truck they were swarmin' us....we were nervous, so we calmed the nerves witha a shot of turkey...we launched where a friend and his dad were killed in a airboat accident a few years ago and it was fresh in our minds and we hadn't ever rode with her nephew before so we didn't know what to exspect....we glassed the surrounding waters and saw a few sets of eyes and decided to head south , within 15 minutes we were surrounded by red eyes, they were everywhere...fl set up her harpoon, missed twice and the third time was a charm
...i didnt' get it on camera, it hapened so quick and i couldn't see, the bugs were blinding me,lol.......but i did get the bouy being dragged
and everything from that moment on...she was freakin', lol........beyond happy and shocked that she actually hit it, lol.....she grabbed the line and started to pull it up out of the water but the hydrilla was so thick, her nephew helped pull the rope, got it up to the boat and then she had to get a second rig in it, it came out the first time, then she went to the back of the boat and stuck good and proceeded to get hooked in the arm with this HUGE fish hook, she wouldnt put the rope down so here she is with gator in one hand and a fish hook in her arm and i got it on film ,lol.... she was freaking....lol....finally got it up to the boat again, this time with both rigs in it, her nephew grabbed his mouth , she taped it off, then she was handed the knife and was told to cut it's spine, she's screamin' WHERE ? LOL....he showed her where to do it and she did it
then she got the scrambler and scrambled his brain..we brought him on the boat and then ate publix subs and jammed out to chris ledoux(sp?)....went to look for a bigger one and the boat started to have engine problems, so we took it back....it was a great night , everyone was safe and she got her gator on the run which made for some intense moments...her harpoon shot was perfect, couldn't have been any better....we're tired , going to bed, will post pics in the morning, oh by the way , it's a 7 footer, good looking hide......tender meat.....can't wait for her to fry it up.....

It's super sore but you can't even see where it entered. 
On the video you can see just how many were there tryin' to suck us dry of any and all blood content we had in our veins.
