Mason rescues caged alligator - nj.com/news

August 08 2008
This mason had a whale of a tale to explain why he was late for work on Thursday.

OK, maybe not a whale of a tale or even a fishy excuse ... how about this: mason found an alligator on the side of the road on his way to work. What a croc?, you say. This one's true, honest.

According to a report in the Press of Atlantic City, Fred Schubert wrestled a vicious alligator to ground with his bare hands on his way to work Thursday.

"I've spent years honing my skill as a crocodile hunter," Schubert told the paper.

If you ask one of his co-workers, they'll say Schubert found an alligator in a cage on the side of the road at 6 a.m. Thursday, placed it in the back of his pick-up truck and went to work.

Is that it? So, how did he rescue it? Did he set it free? Did he kill and grill it? Hmm. Now that sounds "fishy".
