Yep, I figured if Lake Talquin harbored a sixteen footer, there's got to be bigger further south of us. I'm betting the Wildlife Ossifers don't put out the true info, to keep from having 'gator hunters' coming here to kill ours. These lizards need to be taken off the Endangered Species List - they are infesting the swamps all over Florida - ANY body of water may likely have at least one.
