Gator Tries Attempts To EAT Fisherman While Bass Fishing in the Florida Everglades!!

www,captainshane.com
www.floridaevergladesbassfishi... I was fishing some topwater frog in the deep everglades. I was surrounded by alligators and one made the most aggressive lunges at me that I had ever experienced.

[@Drifty40]

TBH.....I was expecting a gator to lurch out of the water. The vid title is a bit misleading. There was no attempt by the gator to eat the fishrrman.

Never and I do mean never stand around alligators unless there is an obvious barrier they can’t get through. They will sneak up on you and they are fast when they strike. They will give you a false sense of security by appearing slow

[@TreyParkersBitch]

Um, no? We hung around alligators all this past week in the Everglades. They’re cool, just respect them and don’t swim in their waters or get too close. They’re not going to “sneak up on people”. This alligator wanted the fish, not the man. If they snuck up on anyone it’s because that person got too close for their comfort.

When i first picked up bass fishing I would do alot of walking through the woods looking for ponds. Now I pretty much use Google earth to locate potential waters. Sometimes I have to do a little walking but try to keep it at a minimum.....because of snakes and gators. thanks for watching!!!

I prefer Michigan where I have no problem walking through any woods or wading any river with no fear of snakes or gators. Spent time in Louisiana and Tennessee in The Army and would never try that down there. Though it does pay to be aware of bears in some areas up here.

Only been living in Florida for about a year and have seen so many gators in the Canal. They're usually not anything to be afraid of, cautious yes, but they typically don't stalk a human for food like crocodiles are notorious for. I've had a couple gators come up at the shore and they're not after my legs, instead they just want the fish I caught.

Welcome my friend and hope you are enjoying your new home here with us. Not to down talk you but still be careful. If they are hungry enough they will snap. Also we got crocs too.

40 years ago my cousins swam the Hillsborough River with little regard for gators because mostly they stayed away from people. If an alligator showed up they would get out but never harassed by the reptiles that I recall. Maybe there has been a time since then that they received little hunting pressure and grew in population and boldness. I'm not sure.

I had this same exact thing happen to me just the other day at a retention pond in my neighborhood .

I’ve had other gators steal my fish , moccasins latch onto my fish and not let go , and I’ve had sand hill cranes gang up on me trying to steal my fish too . It’s rough sometimes being a bank fisherman down here , but the bass fishing is so good that it’s all worth it imo.

i am way up north in michigan and i go fishing everyday. what is the best lure you find is good for bass?

[@lordofthewoods]

It's been DECADES for me, but I'll bet the fish haven't changed much: Tiny Torpedo, cast lengthwise along the bank, preferably where there are reeds along the shoreline. I learned to click the bail over BEFORE the lure hit the water, because they would often strike AS SOON AS it HIT the water. If THAT doesn't happen, just start giving it some short little twitches as you reel it in : )

Hey, is that spot off the Loop Rd? I think I've fished there before. Love the videos man, reminds me of some good times fishing those canals.

@captainshane100 Thanks for that! Also I live in florida just like you; and I need a new rod and reel. I dont want anything over 200 dollars all together but maybe a little under that is fine with me. Any suggestions? Currently I have a Sonora Scimitar, I like it but I want something that is specifically for bass fishing. Thanks!

[@beatles3331]

What are some tips for getting good accuracy on a cast with a baitcasting reel and good distance without getting a backlash. I just started learning how to use a baitcaster and can only cast about 60 ft without backlashing. Anything would be helpful. Thanks!!

[@martinmaddox5315]

Try first practicing with a casting plug or a heavy lure. Some very small lures and small baits are almost impossible to cast with a bait caster. After practice you will be able to cast bass size lures with more accuracy and father than a spinning reel. I assume you are applying light pressure, amount to let lure travel but not let spool outrun the line coming out, with more pressure of thumb as lure approaches the landing area.

[@ticklemepink5500]

Not that it lessens how scary it would be to fish there, but that is ABSOLUTELY an area where gators are fed. Watch the very end 1-2 seconds. There is a skinny wood bridge or dock that goes over the water- just wide enough to walk on, and a big metal bucket sitting there. It is just like you see at an actual gator shows (if you've never seen one think dolphin shows but rustic and without $ to have anything fancy). He also threw the fish to the right, where the bridge is. No one wants those gators to start coming out on land looking for their food. They want them to remain conditioned to getting their food from that spot in the water. Only question is, is it a regular "show" or Gatorland, or is it just a person who lives near this and feeds them for fun or to eventually eat them, etc. Big difference legally. No ill will to the poster, he never said he was out in the wild, he just didn't show the bridge intentionally either.

[@litigatorcoachd9333]

Interesting that the "aggressive lunge" is not actually shown on camera. The earlier approaches by gators in the water were not directed at the human. Beside being naturally curious, gators are attracted by motion and by ripples in the water, which they can home in on thanks to pressure sensors in their lower jaws. Moreover, gators learn from experience, so if this hole had been fished before (as one might suspect), these gators may well have learned that fish are available from that lure moving across the surface. (I have observed gators chasing fishing lures many times myself.) By no means does this video support the assertion in the title that a gator tried to eat a fisherman. Gators are normally wary of and avoid humans unless they have been fed (which, BTW, is illegal).
