Bass angler finally lands big gator
The 63-year-old Franklin Square angler said Saturday that after a lengthy search for the small alligator that had been spotted in Hewlett, N.Y., he finally caught it with his trusty rod and reel, Newsday reported.
"I've been hunting this guy for a while now," Settino said. "Considering the fact that he doesn't belong here, I really wanted to get him out."
The retired telephone technician said he had been out with his fishing gear ever since the alligator, which is not indigenous to the region, was spotted in an area creek several weeks ago.
The alligators were apparently biting Saturday as Settino snagged the gator -- using an artificial lure -- and hauled it in with the help of a nearby man.

well did the gator get shipped off to some zoo, or did you fry him up, understand they taste like chicken.
