    And that is why we decided against FL in favor of TX (DFW area). I thought I could share the water with them...turns out I mentally can't.

    Need a lot of diquat on those weeds before you could ski there.

    We have a few boys here that will take care of it in a hurry.

    My father in-laws lake down there has a gator, no big deal. It's the turtles you have to watch out for.

    @Horton Careful what you wish for. Nostradamus is predicting “the big one” in 2021.

    I agree with @6balls. Just check that thumbnail freeze frame in the original post and look at the separation. More than 15 for sure.

    Just envy and bullying from the west coast (now that I "belong" to Florida)...

    @Jody_Seal and just pee when you get in the water and they won't bother you right? I feel like those duck hunters should try that.

    This one taken out of Ski Paradise in Mulberry Florida about 15 years ago.

    Gainsville FL tournament. Paddle used to remove sunning gators from jump ramp by slapping the paddles on the jump surface. Also gators were under the long starting dock chilling near sign that read don’t feed the gators. Tournament stopped briefly while a gator, that was longer than the gates are wide, meandered across the course. My wife took one look and looked at me and said “don’t fall” while she laughed. We never went back. True story.

    @Jody_Seal That gator would be small for Ski Paradise from what I hear. They e got some giants down there.

    One of my ski buds met that guy and his pup on the way to Fl. the other day! He keeps him on the leash when he is outside now! How many of you guys would do that if you didn’t know how big the gator was?

    I don't understand the issue, the gators just want you to pet them.

    Always fun when you go to replace a deflated buoy, bring it in to the boat and give a squeeze to find a row of 1/2 dozen teeth punctures.

    Skiing through the course one time with my girlfriend driving, going out the exit 55s she says she hit something large (confirmed by the passenger,) not a lot of options of what that could be.....maybe a good size turtle.....maybe.

    I have this fear of diving down to replace a buoy and seeing a wide open mouth coming out of the darkness below......but we do it anyway.

    Getting too crowded in FL; Gators migrating to your States too - they grow fast on venison.

    I've skied in Florida for many years now, primarily in the winter. I've never heard of any gator attacks on skiers. The boat traffic clears them out.
    Do gator attacks on skiers ever happen?
    Thanks.

    We teach our florida skiers young how to tame the lake dinosaur!
