The more important question is "Are you man enough to try to get it to the boat, and lip it" :lol:

Sure they will, but you probably have the best chance w/ one at or near the surface. I've had them vigorously chase down topwaters, flukes, and swimbaits several times. If you cast near them, they will usually immediately go where the lure landed and if its visible, they'll try to nail it. I have never hooked one nor would I ever want to!

We have one about 11' and a couple of 5'ers that hang around the back yard. Not sure what the best way to handle it would be.

But I'm NOT messing with the big one :lol:

White Frog... The gator tour guys are allowed to use Sta Puff marshmallows to draw them out so white frogs work well... Dobyns has caught em on Buzzbaits and Flukes as well... Funny stuff BDO and I with 5 and 6 footers in the Boat.... Shhhh don't think you're supposed too!
