Gator Encounter While Bank Fishing

[nc bass slayer]

Tonight I was bank fishing at a small golf course pond and while i was fishing a I noticed about a 5 foot gator on the bank. Well I made a cast and as soon as it hit the water the fish hit and I knew it was a good one. Im cranking on my rod and the fish jumps out of the water and I saw it was big, but the gator also noticed it too and decided to follow it. So im reeling as fast as I ever have before trying to get the fish in before the gator could get it, and I figured if i could get it out of the water the gator would turn back but I was wrong. I had to drag the fish on the land and here came the gator on land chasing me for the fish. I didn't give up I picked up the fish and took off for the other side of the pond so I could snap a picture and release it. So I figured I would tell my story and show a picture of the 4 pounder I risked my life for lol.

You should call the game and fish to have the gator removed. He's too aggressive toward people to be such a small one.

Nice fish by the way and a great story.

He definitely had my adrenaline pumping, I was close to just dropping my pole and letting him get the fish he was so close but i was determined to get the picture. I might have to call the wildlife to get him out of there because that pond has some nice fish and don't wanna get chased every time I fish there or he tries to attack someone else.

Crazy story! Nice job saving yourself and the fish

Good job getting the fish and NOT feeding an alligator. Those smaller gators are more aggressive, a 10 footer has nothing to prove.
