That poor fucking animal will probably killed... that totally sucks. I'm not for alligator's in the channel, but becasue some a-hole tried to keep an alligator as a pet, he'll likely be shot. just seems kinda sad. getting off my soap box... :confused:

Can you imagine? The news headline "River Dave Dundee saves Havasu from gator channel invasion!"
Hope he doesn’t loose an arm wrestling the Gator. If he did he would not be able to hold onto his hat….
That didn’t take long. We gotta leak.. someone sent it to her. Susan, it’s always F’g Susan. 😂

On another note, figured i really on had to worry about my wife lurking every once and awhile. Hmmm😳

PS. Susan, Thanks for hosting us on the Cabana barge. Hell of a fun day all around!

I was so bummed to not be able to make it. I really wanted to get out on the water because the last 2 months have been crazy. I am in fear that I will not have the time moving forward. I hope that we are able to get together another time in the summer. 👍

Absolutely, I stayed in town this week. Steph is back tomorrow afternoon. We’ll be around through the weekend.

Great.... Don't let that YouTube guy from Florida hear about this, he'll catch the next flight over.
He's got merch and has named the local croc/alligator.

Link for those who haven't come across his channel. Fast Forward to the .45 second mark.

Miss B, I love you! 😘 I too am a fan of animals, but I have to ask...... Have you been to Florida lately??? The place is overrun by alligators. They have truly become a pain in the ass. Whether you enjoy golf, or long walks in the park, you can almost trip over them anywhere you go. They are dangerous and should not be in places where people congregate, like Lake Havasu. Remember the child who was attacked at Disney several years ago?? They need to be managed or else you end up with huge problems, like the invasive snakes now taking over the Florida Everglades.

One option would be to capture this guy, and relocate it somewhere where it has almost no chance of encounters with humans. That way it doesn't end up with pretty stitches and a fashion label.👍
Kill it, eat it, make a belt, some boots and a handbag

Pretty vague in that release making no mention of a gator. Just keep those things up in Havasu would ya guys? Us lower river guys have our hands full with all the other life threatening wildlife and sand/rock bars in our 2 feet of water.

There are a lot of people coming forward on various fb pages saying animal control warned them about the alligator down at the dog park..

At least one guy on rdp fb said he was down in the channel that night and saw it as well as the officers shining the light on it.

Why they didn’t shoot it is beyond me..

I'm not doubting it was a gator, I'm just perplexed by the press release... then again getting any real news out of the Havasu/Parker area is impossible so shouldn't expect anything more I guess.

Mount up the locals and go fishing the channel with chicken on a rope (longer rope than @BingerFang shows above). May need to try one with tofu as well in case it is vegan as he suggests.

Alligators feast on the quagga mussel

Maybe every lake should have a few

This entire gator situation is more probable than the bear at the Bill Williams bridge. And that turned out to be 100% true. Best this gator is taken care of in short order. If not, property listings are likely to go crazy. Property sales, probably not so much . . . . Just sayin’

He may be upset so many ballers are using his family’s skin for their gator step.

How many of you so-cal people jump in the Pacific to surf and swim?

It's almost comical it's like a 1 and 1 million to be bit by a shark, and it's like a 1 and 3 million to be bit by an alligator.

You people need to get out more. One single baby alligator. They've pulled them out of Mead before, they got a 3 footer under a bridge in a flood channel in the middle of Vegas too.

Herd it down to site six. It will be hit by a boat, jet ski, car or truck . . . in no time.
