Alligators like skitterwalks too.

Post by jsuber »

I found out today that Gators like skitterwalks. I filmed this Gator attacking three times but this is the only version that is rated G. I purposely kept him from biting the skitterwalk cause what would you do with an alligator if your got him to the boat. And how much line would you lose when he starts rolling.

So enjoy the show.

That was the third time. He is far more aggressive in the other videos but the language is a little saltier. I've talked with others who have had the same isses with gators attacking Skitterwalks. Who knew! Not me, and stuff always happens to me, I'm glad I got a camera to film it. Its nothing special but kinda unique.

Yes, I believe a back stroke would have been the appropriate reaction :o
