Be that as it may, they're still opportunistic feeders, and standing knee-deep in a pond or canal oblivious to the possible consequences is not a great idea !
Okay ! Back to Florida (again) ! One of my aunt's neighbors (in that same park) was a nice little old lady, about 85, who was nearly blind without her glasses ! One day, as my aunt was approaching for a visit, she noticed a minor commotion on the lady's porch; upon approaching closer, she saw the lady trying to chase a 3-ft. gator off her porch with her broom ! Without her glasses, she had mistaken it for another neighbor's dog ! The 'gator left, but when my aunt explained to her that it was a 'gator she chased off and not a dog, the old lady nearly fainted ! Gutsy gal, in spite of her mistake !
First time I fished a pond in Largo I found myself straddling a 12’ gators tail!! I beat a quick retreat!!

Were you both in the water or just walked up on this lazy critter?

A fed gator is a dead gator.
Jump on anyone you see feeding gators
After a hurricane, my oldest boy and I were picking up palm fronds, when a coral snake ran across the back of his bare hand. didn't bite, just disappeared under the grass. Be careful picking up debris in Florida.

What made you notice it was there?
OUCH ! That pains me just thinking about it ! Randy, maybe you should hook up with Oz to wet a line ? I think you fellas may be fairly close to each other !
To 'witness protection': WAIT ! You're under protection and posting your photo on here ?
WTF ? Aren't you giving yourself away, regardless of no address given ? How does that work ?
(Just askin' !)
Randy, maybe you should hook up with Oz to wet a line ?
Maybe next spring.

I would love to!! My son and I are going out tomorrow if his youngest is feeling better (been sick and won’t drink). She’s 15 mos. old.
I get to watch a couple tomorrow myself.
