Now that would scare your average British angler to death.
Do you think it would take a fly?
Maybe if you stuffed it inside a whole chicken
If you can get a cat to take a fly you can get a gator to take one – I reckon a streamer pulled across its nose would do the job – imagine the fight off that beast – if only you were not running away at the time!
Alistair,
Are you saying you’ve gone fly fishing for cats? How do they compare to pike?
As far as the strength of a Gator, I had the opportunity to wrestle one once, as part of a demonstration. It had its mouth taped shut with electrical tape so it couldn’t get me. I jumped on its back and it dragged me into the water like I wasn’t there. I think one could get well into your backing before you could blink.
ok pete this is getting crazy….you have wrestled gators too?
I am liking your blog more all the time, thanks.
I think I would have been taking a cab about then.
A friend and I took a bus from Toronto to Florida many years ago and at one point our bus driver had to get out with a broom and tried to get a gator off the road where he was sunning himself.
It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. To that point I had only ever seen a gator in a picture or on the tube.
