My "alligators in ponds" expertise from Kansas is ranked an absolute 0.

However, I believe alligators will eat every single type of "meat" they can catch. It may take him some time to catch fast-swimming fish like your bass and carp, but he will try.

Alligators are ambush predators (like your LM Bass). I believe he will eventually get lucky and catch some of your stocked fish.

Any chance your wife asked for an alligator-skin purse for her birthday this year? laugh

Good luck on ridding your pond of its current top predator! You and your family should be the "top predator" of the fish population of your pond as the BG/LMB fishery matures.

We do have several Florida pond owners in the forum. Hopefully, you can get an actual "expert" opinion from them.
