    How would you like to be fishing here?

    Right in the middle of about 40 gators in the middle of a feeding frenzy.

    Re: How would you like to be fishing here?

    My wife and I fished there a couple years ago. We saw a ton of gators at Okeechobee, not so many at the Everglades. We counted over 20 gators at any one time and the only time they moved much was when an airboat came through. They left us alone and we left them alone; though I did hook a small gator about 18". Fortunately he came unbutton before I got him to the boat. That tape was interesting though.

    I have fished around gators quite a bit, but have never seen anything like that.

    I had a Gator go across my rear deck of the Skeeter on Okeechobee several years ago.
    My fishing buddy and I were going off the front until we saw more Gators all around us
