Seeing alligators isn't uncommon for most Texans.

Last month, a girl in Fulshear who was out fishing was surprised when she started reeling in a fish she caught from a bridge near Fulbrook.

The little girl was captured trying to reel in her fish when a gator came rushing in the water to snatch the fish away.
