Have You Seen the Giant Green Snake Living Somewhere in Lake Texoma?




Have you seen the giant snake, perhaps a real live green anaconda from South America that somebody turned loose into Lake Texoma and now has grown to a mammoth size? Who knows if it's true? Do you? KTEN reported when a couple of fishermen said they saw the giant green snake near the Denison Dam this summer, in June. http://www.kten.com/story/22597598/t Surely there would have been other sightings of the snake by now, and that's why I'm wondering if anybody else out there on LakeTexoma.com has seen it, too. Even if Shane Lawrence and Joe Williamson fabricated their story to KTEN reporters (which I'm not suggesting is what happened) the fact remains that some people have been known to turn their pet snakes loose in the Lake Texoma area. I'm quoting Meredith Yeoman's KTEN article on this topic: "In 2007, the state passed a law to address the problem of non-native snakes in Texas. Under the law, any person possessing a snake non-native to Texas must have a permit. Releasing one of those snakes into the wild is punishable by a fine of between $500 and $4,000, and up to one year in jail." Now there's a heads-up for any Texoma snake owners who may decide that their snake needs a watery home in the wild. Turning it loose at the lake is NOT a good idea at all. Let's see if we can generate more comments than KTEN's article online, and maybe uncover the truth of the giant snake story, and hopefully setting all our minds to rest. Any night fisherman out there who have a true story to tell? Please post it below.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

FAIR. Water stained; 84 degrees; 2.44 feet above pool. Striper fishing is good on ledges and humps. Fish are moving quickly on contour in 15-20 feet of water, or suspended 30 feet down on deep humps in 50-70 feet of water on live shad. Topwater baits will be hit-and-miss in the mornings and late evenings before dark. Channel and blue catfish are great on points and ledges in 25-30 feet of water using punch bait. Bigger blues are roaming deeper water flats in 50-70 feet of water, cut shad and whole gizzard shad are working. Bass fishing is good near docks and rocks on crankbaits and quick moving baits. Look for pockets of clearer water and fish to be suspended. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are tough with an inconsistent bite. The flood gates have been closed and the bite should improve as the water settles. Best bite has been with live bait or trolling 20-30 feet of water. Some reports of catches anchored in deep water. Still waiting for the small threadfin shad to run midlake. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
