From The Camden Chronicle-Independent:
What started out as a catfishing escapade quickly escalated into something just short of a Steve Erwin adventure late Thursday night on the Camden side of Lake Wateree.
While John Boykin and Daniel Sheheen were fishing off of Sheheen's dock, Boykin said he spotted something strange in the water

The alligator was about 3 feet long and was put into a dog kennel upon capture for safe keeping.
Jacob Hammond, a Camden police officer, was at Sheheen's house when the alligator was caught and contacted Matt McCaskill with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to come remove the reptile so it wouldn't cause problems for those enjoying Fourth of July on the lake. To Hammond's knowledge, there hasn't been another alligator captured on Lake Wateree, but he said he wasn't 100 percent sure.
McCaskill, however, said this is the "first confirmed capture" of an alligator on Lake Wateree.
Careful dangling those toes in the lake!
As I understand it Daniel Sheheen is the son of Jerry.
