Not so fast with that catfish

[BURTONboy]

Definitely a shark, look at it's tail fin. The brazos river has produced some good yellow cats thus far this year on drop lines. Haven't fished any lakes yet though...

Probably Australia.

I laughed really hard when he crawls out of the water like it owns the place and then one litle whack sends it running for its life hahaha what a switch.

yeah well he could have had it cause I sure as heck aint gonna fight with something that could eat me. The phrase "scream like a wet cat" comes to mind.

That looks more like a shark to me, plus that's awful clear water and the boat looks like a center console bay boat to me.

But, what the heck would a gator be doing in salt water?

It's not uncommon to see Gators in Saltwater. There's plenty around Matagorda.

nice catch fishndude. now that baseball is over I've got to get at it. It's tough though since I'm boat deprived. I sold my Jon boat last year to buy my Mathews bow.

Hunting first on selling your boat for a bow. At least you got your priorities straight!

[Snakelover]

Probably Australia.

You're exactly right. It's a Saltwater Crocodile and a shark in the Northern Territory of Australia. Here's a news link...

I thought I had heard an Australian accent, but it was hard to tell with the wind noise.

True Dat!! Several years ago, we had a group of guys fishing in Port O'Connor and were wade fishing by the ceder trees over on the bay side... my buddy caught a 7 foot gator on a gold Johnson Sprite... We took pics (old 35MM's), messed around with him for a while on the beach, then let him go... last time I saw him, he was swimming across that little cut by the cattle pens... 'course, there's all sorts of houses things over there now, but there was nothing there back then.

X2. I've even seen then in the surf before at PINS!!!

[sharkhunter]

Dang !!!

I realize it's in Australia, but for clarification purposes crocodiles do exist in the US...in fresh and salt water.

[SKLOSS]
