Viva, if the gator is reacting to the splash made by the fish on the hook, how about having a pocket full of rocks to use to trigger the gator in the opposite direction
I grew up in the swamps of Florida and have been swimming, canoeing, wading, etc. They wont mess with him and will actually avoid him, as long as they werent fed. A small child though, I would never put near the edge. It is a strange feeling going head on with a 15 foot alligator in a canoe. It will drive to avoid you but you can feel it going under you.
We swim and ski in lakes and springs all the time the gators are not really interested in you. I wouldn’t trust them around small kids or pets but they really don’t pose as big a threat as people think. I worry more about jellyfish and stingrays far more than gators.
I couldn't help noticing that your kid filmed you climbing over the fence, ahead of him. My first instinct would have been to lift my kid up to the fence before climbing over it myself.
Daily Dose of Internet uploaded some guy fishing and he pulled it from the river, the gator chased, he pulled it up further and and gator kept going. It's wild to me seeing Canadians living amongst dinosaurs. I don'y know if your family is safe down there dude.
Bobber fishing. Use a BIG minnow?? You just need more practice. 30# line. Hook it and just haul it in. Looks like more Canadian Bacon again tonight for din din.

Viva Please Don't sit on the edge of any pool of water on FL. A gator 🐊🐊🐊🐊 can get you. But you are so precious as a Dad, Husband and commentator!

They only eat federal agents?!
As entertaining as you are, Viva, Ethan's always the star of the show!
Man, I reallly like these Canadians, they keep giving me fish!
Ethan is a terrific assistant. I just love him. He a chip of your old block. 🩵
Great work Dad! Little adventures every day!
Happy Dad's day Freiheit. Hopefully the fish was the dad and not the mom, IYKWIM. Ethan is learning to never give up, never surrender.
Makes finishing back home in Canada seem so lame now doesn't it Viva? lol
It's the same gator! I recognize his scale pattern! Make a belt out of him. Lol
👉 Dang.... it sucks when your "catch" gets gobbled up by the gator!! 👈😉👌
I think I'll just stay here in Canada near dry land.
Seriously, I could never live in a place where these things lurk.
The stuff of nightmares.

The Battle of the Gators is an unending story.
Ask the 80-year-old lady for the footage, she got everything.
Funny video. Reel the darn fish in faster. Oh well, better luck next time.
Perfect technique if you were looking to catch that gator. Might have to before you'll ever catch another fish there.
