I found the dead critter, it was a huge turtle, that fucker must have weighted 50 pounds. I will try and get him out of the pond tomorrow and take a picture of him. Still no big gator around. Rebaited my hook and feed all the fish with dog and fish pellets. Water is low in the pond, has not rained in over a week. If I feel better tomorrow, I will put my boat into the pond and go up stream to look for the gators.
