Hi Folks,

It's all over the news that a gator munched on someone in the Santee Cooper
Lakes Sunday. Yep, it was right here on Lake Moultry, just a few minutes from
my house. The gentleman in question was 59 years old, and was snorkling
right through my fishing hole up in the lilly pads at the time. I have often
fished that very spot and almost always have seen one or more gators to
include the 12 footer that got him. Grabbed his left arm and spun until it
literally came off. Nurses picnicking on the bank saved his life. The gator was
shot and the arm recovered. A little prudence could have avoided the whole
incident. Warm regards, Jim
