I saw an alligator in Bayou Two Prairie at the Kerr Rd. bridge a coupe of years ago, so it is definitely possible. I wouldn’t let that stop me from fishing there though, even in a kayak. Years ago a buddy and I would fish in Cypress Lake in a 2 man scamp. There was a 8’+ gator in there at the time. More @Wikipedia
