TBH.....I was expecting a gator to lurch out of the water. The vid title is a bit misleading. There was no attempt by the gator to eat the fishrrman.

Funny he says to the gator, “what are you trying to get me for I didn’t do nothing to you.” I guess the fish could also say that to him.

Never and I do mean never stand around alligators unless there is an obvious barrier they can’t get through. They will sneak up on you and they are fast when they strike. They will give you a false sense of security by appearing slow

dude your crazy fishing there, lol

Takes the relaxation out of fishing I say.

This was over ten years ago, so I presume you've been eaten by now.

When i first picked up bass fishing I would do alot of walking through the woods looking for ponds. Now I pretty much use Google earth to locate potential waters. Sometimes I have to do a little walking but try to keep it at a minimum.....because of snakes and gators. thanks for watching!!!

You can tell this ol boy knows what's up 'cuz he's got his head on a swivel and those gators don't catch him slipping !

Captain Shane you’re a great fisherman but, even a better crazy person! Safe fishing 🎣 bro 😎

These gators where fed by people alligators do not move towards people unless they where fed

Shane : "what er you tryin' to git me for" Gator : "ummm, it's my job?"

looks like out near Turner road, the Gators out there are fearless. that's the best place to see them. lucky it gave you a growl first!!!

That's one multi-tasking gator! He tried to eat the dude while also bass fishing. :-)

Only been living in Florida for about a year and have seen so many gators in the Canal. They're usually not anything to be afraid of, cautious yes, but they typically don't stalk a human for food like crocodiles are notorious for. I've had a couple gators come up at the shore and they're not after my legs, instead they just want the fish I caught.

My goodness‼️ I grew up in South Florida, fishing and swimming in the rivers, and since moved to Georgia. Back then, we would see a gator or two every now and then. They were on the endangered list back then, but man, that is craaazy right there‼️ We would swim in the Loxahatchee river, knowing they might be around, but they weren't or didn't seem aggressive like this, and this video is now 11 years ago, can now understand why so many reports of attacks now‼️ Thanks for sharing Capt Shane

That's fishing dedication. Got gators all around me but still going to try this new bait.

He says "You stole my fish. I was going to eat that one for lunch tomorrow."

Watching those gators slide towards you had me on the edge of my seat. Strong move protecting the camera gear as you made a run for it!!

I've lived in Pompano bch. Florida 🌴 for 53 yrs. Always remember a gator can outrun you if he's hungry.

Ok so this guy is a seasoned outdoorsman. He already knew that gator was there,most likely before we knew. I seen it to the right of him but I think he already seen it also but was playing it off to make for a little drama. Then as he was running, nothing was actually chasing him, lol. Good job Mr.

And this is why we stay vigilant when in nature

I had this same exact thing happen to me just the other day at a retention pond in my neighborhood . I watched this 5-6ft gator swim from across the pond and he just posted up on the shoreline right in front of me waiting to steal my fish . I’ve had other gators steal my fish , moccasins latch onto my fish and not let go , and I’ve had sand hill cranes gang up on me trying to steal my fish too . It’s rough sometimes being a bank fisherman down here , but the bass fishing is so good that it’s all worth it imo. I consider myself blessed to live in Florida where there’s bodies of water around every corner filled with big beautiful bass .

great videos cap shane! went down to the glades from tampa to do some fishing myself and couldn't find any dirt roads leading off 75. might try my luck off 90 next time a round. just bought a gopro head cam and am getting some great shots and footage up here. happy fishing dude!!!

I grew up in the Florida Keys in Southern Florida as well as in the Panhandle I'm now 65. I've run from more than one gator in my life! Thanks for the video that was hilarious. He's lucky they didn't come up at his ankles he kept looking out in the middle, not down at his feet big mistake! Lucky guy thanks again for the video

Alligators are attracted to vibrations in the water that lure just kept ringing a dinner bell lol

"CAPT Shane out" lol

Glad your watching Donny....I appreciate it.

Awesome videos Capt. Shane! We live in California but we love the Everglades and your videos are entertaining and it makes us feel like we are there too. Keep up the good work!

He was pissed, because you didn’t give him the fish. 🤣

Gators don't eat much they just eat often 😂 It's the only thing that I worry about when I take my grandson fishing , he's more interested in catching a frog or minnow's and I have to remind him of how fast a gator can come out of the water 🤪

Rumor has it… after fishing among gators, he went to Pamplona, Spain to continue having fun with the bulls!!! 😂

That gator is more interested in the fish he just caught and the lure he's using 🤪

Gator was pissed that you didn't toss him that fish so it thought you may be a tasty snack.

Almost looked like a game of keep away from the gators. Nice catch. Glad you got away. There was a bunch of gators in that small spot. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video

That is one of the best compliments I have received. I really appreciate you watching.

Always loved this one. Wish you still made em'!

Thanks for posting REAL videos. I like to see it the way it works. I love these.

Gator really said “get out of my swamp”

MY DAD LIVED IN FLORIDA, ALWAYS GOING FISHING, I WENT BUT I WAS SCARED AND NEVER GOT CLOSE TO THE WATER! LOL

I live here. Gators love topwater plugs. They always come after them. Bobbers too. They feed on the surface a lot. My guess is, somebody has been feeding them there.

This guy is great! Knows the gators are there, watches for danger, but still wants to fish! Proof you can still enjoy the outdoor if you keep vigilant of surroundings.

This is why I left Florida. I'm scared of all the crazy people that live there.

These videos are classics!!!! miss these videos!!

Gator said back, I'm hungry and you look like my dinner 😂😂😂

A bass fishing rig creates the perfect "come hither" motions to guide those gators right to their prize, YOU! 😂

They look pretty smart they were teaming up they distracted him and then the other one came up on the other side

Cool video dude! That reminds me of fishing in Alabama when I was a kid around a bunch of cottonmouths

Florida is built different. Now I know I need to go down there to get rid of the fear watching you do that casually

If a gator ever tries that with me it'll find out that it's highly allergic to bullets.

What amazes me is that he continues to fish like O🐊 cool

I missed the part where a gator tried to attempt to eat you.

Hey, is that spot off the Loop Rd? I think I've fished there before. Love the videos man, reminds me of some good times fishing those canals.

You are crazy man!!! but I will travel from Puerto rico to do that...it must be an unforgettable experience...You have a fan here...CHEERS!!!

Gators usually follow the fish once its hooked because its easier to catch. Gator probably was just assuming you had more fish on the bank and was going to take them. That or it was just pissed you threw the fish away.

I've lived/fished SW Fl since 99'. Gators love topwater lures and bobbers. These have been fed fish. Not after the fisherman, but his fish.

I know what you mean. They really go after a topwater. Can make for a difficult time of fishing.

They were chasing your bait, every time you reeled in. You seemed oblivious to them until the one came near you. But I think there were like three. Crazy. Lol.

Gator says: "didn't do anything to me? You have Frozen Bass in the grocers freezer already killed and transported there for you to eat. But you have to come all the way out here and and try to kill for sport one of the 12 bass I have to eat and let the ones in the freezer that are already dead, spoil"

Fisherman: fishing for sport Alligators: fishing to live

Plot twist: Florida fisherman was trying to eat the aligator

Damn tourists were feeding alligators since it is so cute to feed wildlife

A gator tried the same thing to me 25 years ago. Turned out the gator was allergic to bullets.

Good to still have you capt.

10yrs later and I'm watching your video captain

Just moved to Tampa about 18 months ago and all my peeps from NY and GA are like have you gone fishing yet, I'm like Hell No! not with me competing with the wildlife for my fish.

that bass chased his lure on the 1st cast but he was too busy watching(I'm assuming) an alligator

Having seen the way this guy cruelly threw that fish back in i was really hoping that the gator was going to main him

Just had to say: Before viewing the title made me ask (chuckling) if the "gator was doing the bass fishing".

That man was really in the mood for fish.

Capt Shane: “CAP’T SHANE OUT!!” Gators: “CAP’T SHANE GET IN…. MY BELLY!!”

Thanks pardner. I have a couple more that will blow your mind. Check my "Topwater Bass Fishing with a Twist" and "Gator Eats My Fish"

floridaman to apex predator: what are you trying to get me for? apex predator: biology.

I fish these banks at night all the time and never had a problem. The only problem is trying to reel around them so you move to another location. These gators are illegaly fed so it's unlikely they see humans as a food source rather than a food sourcer.

The moment the fisherman realizes he is part of the food chain.

Interesting that the "aggressive lunge" is not actually shown on camera. The earlier approaches by gators in the water were not directed at the human. Beside being naturally curious, gators are attracted by motion and by ripples in the water, which they can home in on thanks to pressure sensors in their lower jaws. Moreover, gators learn from experience, so if this hole had been fished before (as one might suspect), these gators may well have learned that fish are available from that lure moving across the surface. (I have observed gators chasing fishing lures many times myself.) By no means does this video support the assertion in the title that a gator tried to eat a fisherman. Gators are normally wary of and avoid humans unless they have been fed (which, BTW, is illegal).

Gators love top water. That's why they started coming closer when you started fishing with it. Then they seen the bass and were upset. If you're using topwater and gators come close just change spots. It's illegal to try to catch them in Florida

old jungle saying in australia never go down to the same spot on the river bank two days in a row,because on the third day you might be lunch.crocs smarter than you think.

Before I watched this video I never knew what kind of gravel was on the ground at Florida fishing holes.

that's IT!, Shane a NEW "Ugly Stik Fishing Rod Commercial" alligators instead of garbage disposals

Those gators were too small to eat a fully grown man, but if a gator was trying to eat you, you'd have never seen it coming.

That is exciting bass fishing. Good video, Thanks

DAMN MAN IT WAS STILL IN THE WATER YOU WERE FAR AS HELL AND YOU JUMP LIKE THAT KNOCKOVER THE CAMERA GOD I WOULD BE MORE PISSED BUT I CANT STOP LAUGHING..😂😂😂😂😂

Great one Captain Shane. Hey I got a great one for you. What do you call an alligator with a vest on? An Investigator lol

“Attempts to eat fisherman???” I like, well, didn’t see absolutely ANYTHING even close to that? Just saw a gator minding his own business floating 20’ away!

Probably wasn’t trying to eat you. Probably just asserting dominance lol

i am way up north in michigan and i go fishing everyday. what is the best lure you find is good for bass?

What are some tips for getting good accuracy on a cast with a baitcasting reel and good distance without getting a backlash. I just started learning how to use a baitcaster and can only cast about 60 ft without backlashing. Anything would be helpful. Thanks!!

Nice catch tho for real! I think it took longer to setup the camera than it was to catch that fish and then bounce from the area lol!

The fish wants to know the same thing. ….He never did anything to you…

It is up more than normal for this time of the year.

That's the reason why you don't go fishing in gators infected waters without your side arm

That ain’t fishin…that’s playing with fire. 😂

00:17 "I got gators🐊👨🐊all around me........BUT IT'S WORTH TRYING" Say What!? 🤣👍

This is exactly why Florida Law allows you to wear a non concealed gun when fishing and hunting without a permit. You never know when you would have to shoot a gator that's attached to your arm or leg. LOL 😆😆😆

Had a six footer go after a bobber, rather severe tooth marks, followed it all the way to me. Was less than ten ft away, only reason I stood there was I was above him on a very steep bank covered with logs and vines, standing on top of a small tractor.

Smart enough to know there are Gators there but not smart enough to leave.

Why do you have so much line between the lure and your hook. How do you get them to bite on the hook

Dang! 3 gators in that tiny body of water.

You about came to being a Darwin award winner(meaning dead, you don't want to win one). You are crazy fishing in gator infested water.

you got balls to fish there hahahahaha.
