Gator Rams Kayak caught on camera

Here is an article of a guy fishing with his dog who gets rammed by a gator. He caught it on film.

Is it just me or do people make the most retarded comments on news websites? Scroll down and look at what people said.

I thought the dude handled it pretty well considering the situation. If the landlord ever does that to me I hope to have the same reaction. I always wondered about big lizards like that and yaks and I have always felt kinda lucky that the landlord makes so few appearances.

Hahahahahhaa,....I mean, holy shit and all.  But the guys reaction is classic!!

Kayaking is safe. I have my questions about float tubes in situations like that. 

I'm trying to be funny here but I can't figure out how to word my inflection.

So I guess, hehe

I showed the wife and she said "wow" and then laughed at the swearing.

This guy rocks!

thanks Victor, great vid

I think most of the commenters on that vid site are not kayak fisherfolk, and they seem to have a collective case of "don't know sh*t".
Arm chair quarterbacking at its finest. Seems like the guy did the best he could, and he saved the little dog from being a snack.

I had a giant beaver torpedo out of a river at me one time when I was bank fishing in Minnesota. It was huge and pissed off.

I saw it earlier gliding down the other side of the  river. The one thing I noticed was it was eyeing me big time. He went down river and I went back to fishing without a thought. 5 or 10 minutes later that beaver swam upstream underwater (I didn't see him at all) and blasted out of the water at me with full speed. He had me lined up perfectly too. Lost a bucket of minnows as I fell back trying to get away from the giant beaver. I couldn't collect my gear until I was sure he left the area. Didn't return to fish there again.

I would NOT want to meet that guy in a yak.  Watch out when fishing near beaver dams/dens etc. I didn't realize that beavers could be so aggressive.

I KNEW IT!!!  Awhile back I was at a buddy's bachelor party up near Clearlake, on a ranch.  Hadn't gotten any sleep that night and did this and drank that and did this and that......ahem.  Walked down to the creek that had an awesome smallmouth pool and started fishing,...awesome, crazy morning,...smoke on the water,...not *quite* sober yet.  Started seeing crazy wake in the creek,...and it was flat flat end of summer, hardly any current.  A beaver was coming right for me, or at least I thought it was one, never saw it.  Splashed around at the far end, swam towards me, kept in the area, kept vibing me.  I got freaked out, and in my hallucinogenic state, tripped out, pretty bad.  Ran back to the ranch house with my rod and my lures and dam near sh*t myself thinking there were monsters in there or gators or some other crazy junk.  Beavers.  I'm not calling em pussy no more.

Beavers.  I'm not calling em pussy no more.
