Savannah River Gator Encounters | Augusta Georgia News

Big gators are making waves down by the Savannah River — including a 12.5-foot beast pulled from the water and an Ironman trainee who had to wrestle one off. While some locals are on edge, anglers like Paul Hardy say it’s all about staying out of the water. “You’re in their house,” says Ben Custer, urging folks to respect the space. If you’re headed to the river this weekend? Stay alert — it’s gorgeous, but definitely not a place for swimming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
