01/29/08 - Thanks to everyone for playing along. I would love to tell you some true tall tales but things are a bit hectic here at present. In case you missed the "hint" in my first comment the critter shown below is an alligator-gar.
This question is for everyone who lives above the Mason-Dixon line.

Curious?
Answer: It's one of these!
;-)
Eckk! Since I am a new Yankee via location (a Southerner still in heart) I think I should be disqualified. Even so, through my days in southern Georgia, and a tromp or two in Eufaula and Baton Rouge - never saw one of those!
Morning KC,
I have litterally encountered many of these wild and ferocious cold natured , one of these and when mad they will try to bite your leg off and they like fingers to ??
I know you ask folks abouve the Mason- Dixon - Line but I was thinking of my daughter in northern KY.
Blessings.

awww man I just found out I have no idea where I live :P
Whatever it is it does not look healthy at all unless it is suppose to look like that.
Ill wait until the secret is said.
Be loved you are
It's a pickle entered at the state fair of Alabama! :)
Looks more like something that exited something at the state fair. ; )
KC,
Ya'll there is only a tiny portion of that monster that is eatable ? They are quite interesting to watch and can cause quite a bit of excitement ? Mrs Zeke I'll give you a clue > " Its one of these ".
Blessings

Alright, I'll be honest. I wasn't sure what the heck I was looking at, but somehow the word "gar" came into my head. I kid you not.
Raised in Baton Rouge, LA.
The South just gets into you, don't it? ;)
Kc! You know I live in Australia, so i have no idea what you are talking about lol.
I have never seen one of those, even though I am a Chinese by background hehee.
You got me curious!
The last time I went fishing with my Papa before he died, he hooked one of these in the tail. It was about four feet long and we about never landed the thing. I can honestly say that it was about the ugliest thing I have ever seen come out of the water.
Now that the answer has been revealed,I can tell you that I am from the south and that I have seen literally thousands of these creatures, mostly in backwater streams and along river shorelines.
They are loath to take bait and their mouths are so tough that they are not regularly caught on a line, though that is not impossible.
Floridians don't count them as food fish, but Texans do.
We used to shoot them with BB guns, which irritated them a lot, as the BBs bounced off of their tough skin.
Agressive toward their food, I have often swam (swum? swimmed?)in gar-infested waters without incident. They swim away from humans (usually).
I live below the Mason-Dixon line (just barely) and I didn't have a clue as to its identity.
But I'm sure I have relatives who've eaten it...

Missing your interesting posts. Come back!!!

Kc, are you OK? It's been a long time since you posted....
Praying for you!
KC, I know you have been busy with the new grandbaby and all that has been going on. Just wanted to let you know that Amy and I are thinking about y'all and praying for you. If there is anything I can do, just holler.
Just plain yikes.
Thanks again everyone for your reactions and thanks especially to those of you who have been concerned and for your prayers. You are all such wonderful people!
