Just get you a gator and stfu. I'm not into that anymore but I've been known to snag one at the right time. ive had a few 4 to 5 footers max,,hit topwater , scum frog or weightless worm worked on top gets good results and they fold up nice in the average size cooler. i dont kill them that would be against the law so i keep him alive so i can release him quickly into a safer enviroment.  |

Pretty sure Harper is a convicted felon over that deal. He wasn't making the tag holders go with him most of the time; he was just using their tags and selling the hides. I still don't think anyone knows why, he didn't need the cash. Agree. Agree, and agree. As you know he was a strange cat. Dated his daughter, ended up close friends with his son, and then wife, who was his ex-wife, but remarried. He did get hung up on charges for sure. I think probation and no jail time. I loathed him for many years, but he did hire me to work the dock in my teens, and I kept the bait pens full during tarpon season. I think he hired me because I was polite, and he knew I could catch bait. We had a strange relationship, as I feared him, but then he gave me a pass. You know what I'm talking about, he was one of a kind. I think he's still alive, living on the lakes on the Kissimmee chain, but I could be wrong. People wonder why my head is messed up about fishing. You know who've I've worked for. 😀 We all have Jack stories, and I’m pretty sure there were some birds in the freezer involved too. Son is a lawyer in Tampa, cracker may be friends with him? Not sure on that McG but for some reason thought y’all might be friends. He is on a dang good lease of land owned by other island people we know. |
