iWon News - Bologna Entices Gator From N.C. Pond: "MAIDEN, N.C. (AP) - When two eyes peeked out of the water, a trio of young fishing buddies knew they weren't looking at a fish. 'We threw a stick at it to see what it was,' 11-year-old Jim Vang said. 'It stuck its head out of the water a little more, and that's when we saw that it was an alligator.'

Using a piece of bologna tied to a string, rescue workers caught the 2 1/2-foot-long alligator Wednesday after Vang and his friends asked adults to call police."
