Captain Jodi!

The Hollowood's gave us Christmas gifts that just kept giving!!

This is around a 10 month old Manatee, he or she just loved being scratched and petted!

Here is a nice close up!  Look how small those eyes are!

I don't think this is the same Manatee, but it sure is cute!

Heavenly!

Talking with Manatees!

There were three Manatee's playing with each other, pretty much can see them all in this picture!

That's Chip chillin' with this "little" guy!

Each of these guys look different!

Gators in control!

Flamingo Harbor, Everglades National Park: December 2003

Yes, he caught this on hook and line...

Mike was getting hungry..

Brian fought this guy for at least 45 minutes...what a beautiful catch of the rare Jack Creville..

This Croc was posing for a cover shot for the SWAMP magazine..

Mike and Jeff getting the funk off!

We were in the "backcountry" looking for some deep water in Mikes beautiful new Renegade!

Mike powered us out of there in no time (after we got the stink off pretty darn good)

If things ever take a turn for the worst, Mike can make a go at Queer Eye for the DC Guy....

There were ducks and Gators EVERYWHERE in this lake...

hanging out on logs... 

in the shadows....

on the flats....

and in the mangroves.....

this guy looks like a pretty happy Gator doesn't he?

This Hawk decided to get the heck out of there....

Look at those teeth!  They are perfect and SHARP!

This Croc didn't want any from this Florida Gator!

Well, then again maybe he just needed a better "attack position"

Later that evening, Brian went in for the Kill fishing for some Snook...

Nice catch, it's catch and release this time of year, so this guy went back!

The Boran's on New Year's Eve 2003, feeding their calf Coco!
