Well, this old timer was dozing in the sun on an island in North Bay near the entrance to the S-Chain. Wish I'd been able to put something in the pic to give perspective. Take my word for it, he was all of 3 1/2 feet from his ugly puss to the end of his nasty tail. No doubt he's helped himself to plenty of stringer-dinners from unsuspecting campers. And yes, it does make one think twice when going for a relaxing dip.
Would love to hear some ideas on the ol' boy's age...   :)
