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 (May 21)

FAIR. Water stained; 65 degrees; 14.91 feet above pool. Striper fishing is still very hit-and-miss with the muddy water. Spend time looking for better conditions in the backs of coves and in the trees. Cast topwaters, swimbaits or live bait if you can locate clear water. Catfishing is excellent with the current conditions. Limits of channel catfish are possible with good pre-spawn fish mixed in. Target 20-30 feet of water with prepared baits anchored near the bottom along rock banks. Blue catfish will be up shallow in the backs of creeks and catchable from the banks on cut shad and prepared baits. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The water clarity is extremely muddy creating tough conditions for striped bass. Some stripers can be caught with live bait. Catfish can be targeted around big rocks and drop-offs with punch bait or cut shad. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. As we enjoy a weekend of fishing we salute and honor our Nation’s heroes this Memorial Day. Anticipate increased recreational boater traffic this weekend.
