My son's birthday was 09/10 and we were lucky enough to draw a zone 2 tag and get to go hunting with Redneck1 on Lake Seminole. We hit the water at about 7 and hooked a 8 footer around 8:30 and it got into a blowdown and got loose. Then we finally saw a big boy around 12:45 and we sit on him until we finally got a hook in him at 3:15. Then the fight was on, we got two hooks in him then lost a hook and was back down to one hook. Then Chris got another hook in him and then he shook that one loose also. Chris kept at him and got another hook back in him and the ride was on. The beast pulled us up stream for over thirty minutes launching himself out of the water several times until we finally got him to the boat and he was huge. you couldn't have wiped the smile off my son's face if you tried. So the end of the story is on my son's 15 birthday we got a 12' over 600 lbs. gator out of Lake Seminole. In case you didn't know Redneck1 is "THE MAN"!!
