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 (Aug. 20)

GOOD. Water stained; 79 degrees; 0.84 feet above pool. Striper fishing lures are working well for surfacing fish and on big schools of fish in deeper water. Topwaters, swimbaits and slabs are producing. Watch for birds and fish surfacing and look for the bigger schools under them. They're not in the same place twice very often right now. Catfishing is great on punch bait for numbers on points near flats in 20-25 feet of water. Fish are schooled up and staying under the boat on anchor. Blues are in deeper water on cut shad near river ledges. In the hot days of summer utilize electronics to locate active crappie near brush and structure in 18-25 feet of water near coves and creeks. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service.
