Chambers County deputies responded to a call for assistance late last night, at approximately 10 p.m., after a fisherman found himself seeking refuge in a tree at Bird Rookery Lake.

According to reports, the man had been pursued up the tree by an alligator while fishing, prompting a friend to urgently seek help once the fisherman reached the safety of the tree.

Just starting to see them around the Big Thicket this week as it warms up a little.

I've always wanted to fish in there. I thought it was illegal to fish in there, at least when I was a kid. I used to catch a lot of largemouth in Lake Miller, Mac Slough and Pickets Bayou growing up in that area. I'm sure I would have trespassed in that lake mentioned in the article but it was so close to I-10 I think I'd of been spotted.

My county doesn't have the sharpest tools in the shed
