Well, we went frogging last night and the winner who guessed what we were doing first to win a free sack of live crawfish for opening weekend 2027 was Chad Abshire!!!!

Enjoy some pics of our adventure. I only got a few because we were having such a good time.

UPDATED TO ADD: We did not remove the gator from its home, it was held and released back into the pond.
