Over the weekend a man tarpon fishing in the Florida Everglades found himself stalked and then chased by a huge bull alligator. He captured the whole encounter with his GoPro.
He's shockingly calm about the whole thing, but it doesn't look like the gator was playing around. Check out his description of the incident below:
22-year-old Florida native. My name is Tommy Lee. YouTube is chumdumpster. Ig is heavychummer. I was tarpon fishing at sunrise when an 11 foot plus bull gator stalked me then chased me. The camera is a GoPro with a wide angle. The gator appeared much larger and closer in person. It got within 10ft of me. I ran backward and fell as he chased me. Then I confronted him and he chased me again before retreating back to the water. Then I retreated back to my truck.
