The fish hook didn't get too bad at all.
It's super sore but you can't even see where it entered.
It scared me more than anything cause I knew it was in me so I wasn't movin' and I was basically pinned up against the cage of the airboat with the gator directly next to me. Huntnma got the entire incident on film. It'll have you rollin' on the ground gaspin' for air.
My knees are TOAST!! I guess I was hittin' the boat too hard when I'd jump down into harpoonin' position. They're gonna be black and blue.
The bugs were incredible.
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.
I'm not sure how the other hunters in the same area did besides one group of guys gettin' a nice 9ft. one, this Doctor got a 7ft. one , and then Huntnma's husband got his first gator. It was 7'4'. Hopefully everyone had a safe night. I've got one tag left so I'll go out once more. Hopefully now that I know what I'm doing we're going to wait for a big guy to come swimmin' by but if it's gettin' too late then anything with meat on it will be takin'. I'm only going out once more because of the gas shortage. We only used about a quarter of our tank.
Had the gator in the boat within the first 45 minutes.
I could got 6 more nights tryin' to get the big one but i'm meat huntin' and not trophy huntin'.
The pics didn't come out very good at all which kinda bites but at least we have the video.I've sent pics to Huntnma so hopefully she'll get them up after she wakes up.
