"The gator just laid there. He didn’t move the whole time. I watched him and took pictures. He never moved. The fish of course never moved and he just laid there….I guess gator was cold. Caught this fish and kind of didn’t know what to do with him at the time."
The woman estimates the snook was about 36 to 40 inches.
