That pictice is a hoax. But this one of me wrestling this 11 footer on the Tom Bigby about two months ago is No Hoax.
How to deal with an alligator attack!
Gators have recently grown in large amounts. They were a protected species and as a result have become very prevelent in FL, AB and MI.
If you watch CNN you saw that a recent gator attack left a man with no arm. This could have been prevented.

Third Deadly Alligator Attack in Florida in Past Week!
Last weekend there was a gator seen in Rough River. Yup, that's right, right here in KY:
Recent Email recieved:
This picture was taken by a helicopter flying over Rough River ! (For those of you who are not local, Rough River is about 50 miles south of Jefferson county )
That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!
Are you ready to go skiing on Rough River ?
If you ski at the West end of the lake -- try not to fall.
This alligator was found between Axtel and Northfork near a house.
Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator - guess he wouldn't cooperate....
Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night.
Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations.
'I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said. Friday they realized the stories were, if anything, understated.
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden with the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department, walks past a 23-foot, 1-inch alligator that he shot and killed in their back yard.
Now we have had three "Unconfirmed" gator sightings up a creeck on the Ohio river.
I like most of you people so I'll give you a few words of advice.
1. When you first think there is a gator near by, your balls will immediately go up inside your stomach and you will feel something like this:

Look around, especially in areas like this:

Get yourself some gatorbait:

And break out a bottle of

and drink a LOT OF IT! This part is especially important. As it is a well known fact that gator fear guys with makers on their breath. Had the man with no arm been drinking makers, well, he'd still have both arms.
Next...
Go on in the water and FIND THAT GATOR!
Grab him by the tail and get a line on his ars.

Now pull his *** out of the river.

(and then shoot him in the head twice)(or in this case, have the game warden do it) (they fight a lot less with two holes in the head)

Then get a few good action shots of the gator kicking around and post them on your favorit car forum. Then Presto- No more alligator attacks.

And you have a prize worth mounting on the wall.
Next week we will discuss How to protect your family from a catfish attack.
