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. 27)

GOOD. Water stained; 83-84 degrees; 0.38 feet above pool. Fishing has been really good. Some days are definitely easier than others, but it has definitely started to turn around. Mostly catching them on slabs. Sometimes catching them on topwaters. Some anglers are trolling for them and catching them. You can jig them up and down off the bottom. Water temperatures are still pretty warm around 83-84 degrees. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striper fishing is good as they have schooled up and are feeding more frequently with the nicer weather. Look for fish surfacing with larger schools under them on river ledges. Slabs, topwaters and swimbaits are producing fish when you get on the right school. Fish can be found feeding throughout the day and in random places so keep an eye out for birds and blow-ups right now. Catfishing is good on punch bait off points and ditches in 20-25 feet of water for numbers of channel cats. Blues are on deeper flats in 40-60 feet of water on cut shad for numbers. Bigger blues are near coves and creeks in 18-25 feet of water drifting cut shad. Crappie fishing - look at brush near the mouths of coves and creeks in 15-20 feet of water. Temperature drops will have fish active near docks and structures throughout the day. Darker color jigs are working better with current water conditions.
