bring your kayak up and i'll point you in his direction. you measure
him. g

i was a long way from him when i stopped running and took the pic, using
the little olympus stylus camera close-up...just doesn't show the scale
accurately at all. he was huge!! hell, by tomorrow he'll be 15 feet.
wish i had gotten closer and taken more photos, but as bad as my luck
had been this weekend i feared he might think i was an easter meal.

i've never encountered an alligator in the wild and up close on land
(saw one from the boat once). i've not tried to run in a long time, and
i suspect "scurrying" might not be adequate in the event he decided he
wanted a closer view of me. it was very spooky to just walk up
unknowingly on the damn thing. ...and i was catching some fish too!

Willi and I saw a bunch in the Everglades, and you did have to watch where you
were walking (and paddling). They said the only reported 'incident' in the park
was when a kid hit one on a bike. Here's a 'close up of one. ;-)

That's a cool picture. The last time I fished a tournament in Florida on
Lake Okeechobee, I had a 7 footer eat my Zoom SuperFluke. I was using a
flipping stick with 50 lb. PowerPro line and managed to get it up to the
boat three times before it broke off! I don't know what I was going to do
with it at the side of the boat, because I certainly wasn't going to try to
get my fifty cent lure back!

But they sure do fight good! :-)
