MANCHESTER, N.H. - Two Manchester middle school students got the catch of a lifetime at Steven's Pond on Friday.
They fished a reptile resembling a small alligator out of the pond.
Seventh-graders Eric Vaughan Jr. and Jesse Philbin love to fish, and they caught the big one Friday.
"I saw it today and we ended up getting it," Vaughan said.
It's not clear exactly what the reptile is yet, but police said it could be a Cayman.
"It was just a mean-looking creature," Philbin said.
For two weeks, the Manchester middle-schoolers have been wading into Steven's Pond looking for what residents referred to as an alligator.
They had been looking around Friday afternoon and baited a hook determined to reel in the reptile.
"He took it and the hook got hooked in his mouth, and we dragged him over, and we got him in the net," Vaughan said. "It's bigger than any fish I've ever caught."
The teens said the reptile put up a big fight.
