Went down to port fourchon for an offshore trip but the weather didn't cooperate so I called a bowfishing charter to see if my son wyatt and I could get out and do something they are running gators right now and we're able to squeeze us in on a 1 day hunt. Special thanks to midnight blue charters and grandpa Jeff! Wyatt was able to catch 2 9'+ gators! Bad trip turned into a trip of a lifetime!

Looks like a hoot very cool hunt.

Cool! Share pics of the eating as well. Lots of meat there.

Pretty cool.

Boy sure looks excited and proud!

What a funtastic time it looks like he had. Makes me smile seeing those pictures

You eat them what do you do with them?.

Wyatt should get a new pair of boots and a belt from those gators.

Nice

I told him he should get a vest made. He don't know it but he's in for a big surprise in about a year! We brought home some meat but unfortunately we had to make tracks back north dad has to work in the morning we are still on the road be home around 1am

So how did he catch them? Set lines?

Very nicely done ! Talk about making memories and pictures worthy of being framed !

That is a big lizard! Glad trip ended good.

Too big for good eating but nice kills partners

Love/hate relationship with those lizards. Great to eat but 3 trillion skeeters, unbearing heat and long nights on the water really aren't my favorite things. Just thawed and ate a pack last week. Something "different" but not my favorite on a regular basis.

WOW, on my bucket list, did you get to keep the meat??

Yeah Caught on set lines. So we could have kept the meat but we were in a hurry to get home and part of the deal is you have to pay the skinner to skin and butcher we didn't really have the time to stay for that. I've heard people say it's great and I've heard people say it's terrible.

To be 100 percent honest I find a live otter on a 12 foot cable to be more exciting. That's me the kid he fell in love I'm sure he'll be back to do it again.
