Scared the heck out of me…this is salt water…gators generally stay in fresh water. I let the fish take line and go to the bottom and I moved back from the edge of the creek. I waited about 10 minutes (fish was too tired to fight at that point) and tried to bring him in again but Mr Gator reappeared. Finally decided to get fishy to the surface and flip him up into the air and onto solid ground. He was too heavy and landed at the bottom of the bank and Mr Gator had lunch. I thought fishing was supposed to be relaxing!
