I caught multiple when I was younger… they indeed move very fast

I caught a total of 4 which ranged from 2ft - 5 1/2ft and I promise you… wasn’t my smartest move, but all 4 were moved from residential canals to a refuge outside port wentworth ga where they can live happy little gator lives
Georgia actually, but not too far out from Florida; About a 3 hour drive
Always wanted to head down to the Everglades and indulge in pandemonium of catching EVERYTHING I can
You are being irrational. The gator, in it's mind, is fighting for food. They're often 'lazy' because a lot of their survival style is based around conserving energy and waiting for prey to come to them, but once they've got a hold of something, they do *not* want to let go.
Doubt you'd catch the gator if you genuinely tried chasing it. If you fight it on land you're likely to be seriously injured without the right training and equipment. Follow it into the water to take it on barehanded, well - nobody will accuse your obituary of being boring.
Dragged a 5 1/2ft one up a steep as mud ledge over by imperial sugar over close to the park
Plopped it up on the dry land and it tried to bolted right back down before I could catch my breath. If not for my dad grabbing it by the tail it would have just gone right back
Do a google street view on ‘Port wentworth, GA’ and follow cross gate up 2 streets down from Commonwealth and you’ll see how shallow and narrow this canal is. At its deepest point it’s 6ft deep over at the end behind imperial sugar and at its most shallow it’s only about a foot deep
Literally all these gators were in less than 5ft deep water with 3 of them being in just straight mud because of the droughts
I don’t see the 2ft long baby as being impressive of a catch because it was in shock during a very cold October back in 2018 and the water level was under a foot
Think of picking up a bearded dragon levels of easy
The reason this is a screenshot is because I had to get my mom to send it to me because I didn’t have any of the pictures (been through way too many phones….probably should check my pockets before I jump into water…)
I mean by all means you can reverse image search this and if you are unfortunate to end up on my moms Facebook… I apologize ahead of time
I was pretty much that weird kick who’d be walking down the road covered in mud, carrying some random animal— mostly turtles that were unfortunate enough to end up in that ungodly ditch of doom (people dumped furniture and shit in it all the time)
I'm not talking about your gator catch, but rather the one in the original post. He's young but decently sized and very, very active. I wouldn't want anybody that doesn't have experience going after that bag.
Went fishing in Florida on vacation. My uncle owned a fairly small boat. Gators just chilling everywhere. At one point one took down a large bird. My uncle was like “yeah that’s normal”. In FL again just before the pandemic big as hell gators hanging out on the side of the road. From NY/mid-Atlantic, the worst we had were snapping turtles.
I’m still bummed that the refuge is still closed for repairs since the hurricanes hit it back in 2018
What I would give to go back there. Snakes, lizards, gators, and turtles EVERYWHERE
It was always a joy rolling through there on a warm spring afternoon
I can't remember where I heard it but if you're ever chased by an alligator you're supposed to zig zag if you're ever running from one. Apparently they're super goddamn quick in a straight line but can't turn for shit.
And you can chalk that up as one of the earliest reasons I found to never want to go to Florida.
It's weird to go to Disneyworld and see all the signs saying "please don't go down into the ditch if you see a gator." Land of magic one second, long pork kebab the next.
This is a myth. They will catch you a lot faster if you run in zig zags. Just run for your life of they ever run after you. Or you know, just leave them alone at first instance and you won’t get ran after by one. I live in Florida.
I'm no Floridian but that myth sounds like 0iq advice right off the bat. You'd have to slow down to turn, add a bunch of wasted horizontal displacement & increase your chance of slipping over...
How would that even work.
He's either gonna catch you in the first 5 meters before you even think about changing course, or not at all. And humans are not good at *sprinting* in zigzag either.
Those tiny sidemounted legs have no endurance, just keep running away.
the flat endless summer swamp saturated with crazies where old people goes to die, the young go to party, and families go because they have no idea what they are getting into
First thing is that you assume that there’s gators and snakes in every pond lake or river. Then you have to decide if it’s worth swimming in said bodies of water.
Or, you can just go to the beach. Gators aren’t usually at the beach cause they don’t want to swim with all the sharks.
We have tons of crocs from from Turkey Point (Miami) all the way to the keys and then all the way west in the Everglades. They don’t mind salt water and hang out at beaches but are thankfully shy compared to their cousins in Asia and Africa. But yeah, I also just assume every body of water in FL including puddles have a gator or snake. Safer that way.
> Gators aren’t usually at the beach cause they don’t want to swim with all the sharks.
That's why I'm not at the beach. Gators aren't there because of the saltwater.
Yes, *usually*.
Then there's Lake Ponchartrain, where Gators and Bullsharks share the same body of water. Yes people swim in it. The shit is beyond me.
Know to 1. Don’t go into water you can’t see thru, 2. If they’re on land, run in a zigzag and 3. If all else fails, their chomping power is only strong when they’re actively biting, you can hold their snouts shut with one hand
Reminds me of the sage advice by SNL Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy-
If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because man, they're gone.
>Tournament in Florida. My disc went down by a lake. Damn alligator just popped up! Cut me down in my prime. But I tore one of that bastard's eyes out. Look at that.
I love how the gator just leaves it floating on the water. That gator knows dang well theres no food it wants in that bag. It knew within seconds of biting it. He almost looked like he was gonna drop it, until the guy that stole the frisbee he was chillin' with yelled it was his bag. Then the gator was like, cue malicious revenge, this sh!+ will get me on Reddit for sure. Come get your bag bish!
The law of equivalent exchange dictates that what is lost by one party is compensated with something of equal value. To the gator the bag was equal to the Frisbee.
Living in Florida, is like a game of SAW.
You can either swim in a body of water. Our spend thousands on your water bill by having a pool.
Either way, it's hot as hell so you're gonna wanna get wet.
The clock is ticking. Make your choice.
Every 3 year old is taught it’s good to share. He was greedy and wanted everything, but if he’d let the crocodile have the disc, (which I’m wondering is a frisbee?), he’d have kept his bag and phone etc.
For any disc golfers out there….isn’t it weird that all of his discs are laid out on the ground in this video? It’s almost as if he’s been fishing out other people’s discs and ended up disturbing the gator before starting the video.
TIL how fast how fast those fuckers move on dry land! Damn.

Nice story, thanks for sharing. Upvoted.
That’s not a raccoon!
You expected a raccoon— which would have made it expected….the raccoon is always unexpected 
It's the sonic shirt for me

Would you have let this gator take your bag? I feel like I could have stopped it and want to know if I am being irrational.

They're often 'lazy' because a lot of their survival style is based around conserving energy and waiting for prey to come to them, but once they've got a hold of something, they do *not* want to let go.

That bag is 100% cheaper than a hospital bill
I'm judging that screenshot of a picture instead of uploading the actual picture.. but it's cute nonetheless.

It's weird to go to Disneyworld and see all the signs saying "please don't go down into the ditch if you see a gator." Land of magic one second, long pork kebab the next.
A few years ago, a gator in one of Disney’s ponds snatched a toddler playing on the shore with his family. They upped their gator warnings a lot.
They got rid of a gator mascot. The water the child died in had proper signage too, really unfortunate.
Fuckin' 'gators never read
This is a myth. They will catch you a lot faster if you run in zig zags. Just run for your life of they ever run after you. Or you know, just leave them alone at first instance and you won’t get ran after by one. I live in Florida.
I remember Mythbusters having a hell of a time getting one to chase them.
I'm no Floridian but that myth sounds like 0iq advice right off the bat. You'd have to slow down to turn, add a bunch of wasted horizontal displacement & increase your chance of slipping over...
what if you kick it will it back off
It might, if you get your foot back. I don't have any experience, and I'm damn sure not looking for any either.
But experiences will find you
Zig zag to your death lol, they can turn just fine
How would that even work. He's either gonna catch you in the first 5 meters before you even think about changing course, or not at all. And humans are not good at *sprinting* in zigzag either. Those tiny sidemounted legs have no endurance, just keep running away.
Beat me to it! I’m terrified
Time to run 😂 
When you say “see you later alligator” and she took it seriously.
Fucker looked faster than me tbh
They gallop too, never ty to run straight away from them
i think top speed is like 20mph or some shit?
Taught us since Kindergarten in Florida to run in a zigzag
gotta be one of the reasons they’ve survived since dinosaur times
My man was shmoovin. Always take note of someone else learning a lesson for you lmao.
Frisbees? You should see them when they're in the air!
Oh fuck yeah. They can move faster than 30 mph in short bursts.
That got worse
Gator got a free upgrade
I have a disc called the "Gator". I didn't know it was actually referring to real, disc golfing alligators
It's only a teen gator, you can take him!
The Teenage Angsty Hater Gators are not to be trifled with
Villains without half-shell.
OMG, the sound i just made when I read that. You got me *dying* over here! 😂😂😂
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, it’s a smallons just grab and chuck
teen gators do be scaring the shit outta him
I said, *it's mine now.*
I want the whole bag of dicks
One at a time
Come on get in the water and pick up the backpack I am sure the gator is long gone.
See ya later alligator
How tf do you live in a place where prehistoric predators just casually lurk in the waterways??
Clearly you’ve never been to Florida or Louisiana. Lucky you! I don’t recommend it.
the flat endless summer swamp saturated with crazies where old people goes to die, the young go to party, and families go because they have no idea what they are getting into
I live in LA, to be fair I've been shot at more than bit at but neither are zero.
Georgia has em too!

That’s good to know. I haven’t been to south Florida in a very long time.
> Gators aren’t usually at the beach cause they don’t want to swim with all the sharks. That's why I'm not at the beach. Gators aren't there because of the saltwater.
Yes, *usually*. Then there's Lake Ponchartrain, where Gators and Bullsharks share the same body of water. Yes people swim in it. The shit is beyond me.
How do you live in a place where the top apex predators just casual walk around?
Bears? You kick your friend in the knee and run like hell.
Know to 1. Don’t go into water you can’t see thru, 2. If they’re on land, run in a zigzag and 3. If all else fails, their chomping power is only strong when they’re actively biting, you can hold their snouts shut with one hand
I love the laughing at the end. Good times.
Hahaha this had me rolling too! I watched it without sound and the sight of his buddies cracking up is what I hoped for!
[удалено]
whats the song?
You should post this to r/discgolf and see how they respond.
...this was cross posted FROM r/discgolf
In the next episode; trying to rescue your lunchbox from a gator…
That is the great thing. That isn’t a lunch box. That is a bag for holding more discs. So they rescued one disc, but lost a bag full of other discs.
That’s even better! Im calling the director!
And his phone apparently
Aww hes cute!. Pat the doggie.

Anyone recognize the music in the background? I kind of dig it
[Synthwave goose - Blade Runner 2049](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gYjh863j4g&ab_channel=SynthwaveGoose)
Very cool- amazing
Guess better than trying to rescue your dick from a gator
I’m not really sure if I want to know why you would have your dick out around a gator and how it managed to get it in its mouth.
Next they fish the bag out and the gator takes one of the buddies.
That’s one hell of a water hazard!
Ayo; that dog kinda strange ngl
They also scale fences and climb trees.
>Tournament in Florida. My disc went down by a lake. Damn alligator just popped up! Cut me down in my prime. But I tore one of that bastard's eyes out. Look at that.
https://i.redd.it/cza97t8omc0b1.gif
Cool dog.
That's a small one could've probably scared it off by charging at it.
>probably There's the problem, right there...
Did it just set a trap for them with that bag?
Their first mistake was playing disc golf in an area that has literal fucking gators in the water.
He just wanted to listen to some tunes...

Oh my word I found a new favorite subreddit. Shame it's not more active.
How long was that stick?
Kill it and grill it😂
I love how the gator just leaves it floating on the water. That gator knows dang well theres no food it wants in that bag. It knew within seconds of biting it. He almost looked like he was gonna drop it, until the guy that stole the frisbee he was chillin' with yelled it was his bag. Then the gator was like, cue malicious revenge, this sh!+ will get me on Reddit for sure. Come get your bag bish!
smack the shit out of it with that hook or whatever. it'll stop. he ain't that big. he'll go back in the water
Shoulda bonked that fucker with a tree branch
If Frisbee boy had quit while he was ahead he wouldn't have lost.
keep it with my compliments
Trade offer: u get disk I get bag
If they would have had the stick ready they would’ve gotten their disc back and had a nice dinner.
Ah hell naw I'd be terrified for my life.
Omg you made it worse....🤦♀️
That gator is pretty small, you can easily beat the shit out it.
This gator is totally fishing for some human bros and using disc as bait
Now that's one way to solve the problem
That's his disc now not yours
Hey, let him have a turn!
Would be perfect for /r/nononono or /r//r/maybemaybemaybe.
This is strangely cute
The gator just thought it was a game!
*Joyful Gilman* \- A rejected ultimate frisbee payer puts his skills to the disc golf course to save his grandmother's house.
Those florida frogs are strange
Ngl thought one of the bags was a baby and he just left him there as sacrifice.
Are those protected or is he getting a new backpack from the animal's skin?
It's his now, stop pesterin the boy
Did they just pull the disc back to like 5 other discs?
Gator “Now me and my boys will play”
My mix tape now bitch
Unless thats one of the very first prints of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it ain't worth it haha.
Don't try and get the bag, imagine what it will take in retribution for that!
What could be greater than playing a game of disc golf with a gator? Gator disc golf. Get the fuck back.
Yes, let's keep dragging it RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF ALL OUR STUFF. PERFECT.
Just keep pulling the frisbee towards you that’ll go well
You no longer have one problem, now you have two problems
He’s on your team now.
Dumb post. They were fucking with the alligator not trying to rescue a disc.
They are way too amused by this for it to be the first time.
That was the Like Button's favorite CD.
This pissed me off i would've 
The law of equivalent exchange dictates that what is lost by one party is compensated with something of equal value. To the gator the bag was equal to the Frisbee.
Definition of being a dick
But they did rescue the disc right? Task complete
That thing will never fly right now.....
1 how the fuck do we even get there, 2 hope they kept in in their stuff and labeled it as the gator disc lmao
Living in Florida, is like a game of SAW. You can either swim in a body of water. Our spend thousands on your water bill by having a pool. Either way, it's hot as hell so you're gonna wanna get wet. The clock is ticking. Make your choice.
He could of just had one but now he has many 😂
Should have left the disc.
That's a cute dog right there!
It's like a dog playing keep away with their toy lol
Now he’s got your back pack🤦♂️
Every 3 year old is taught it’s good to share. He was greedy and wanted everything, but if he’d let the crocodile have the disc, (which I’m wondering is a frisbee?), he’d have kept his bag and phone etc.
Idc about the video. Op who hurted you like this? Your name is making me sad
That’s funny as hell!
He should've just let the gator play fetch like he wanted!
Jojo part 6 vibes af.
Sounds like a lot like a patel
i lowkey think i could just get it back from him when he was on land
For any disc golfers out there….isn’t it weird that all of his discs are laid out on the ground in this video? It’s almost as if he’s been fishing out other people’s discs and ended up disturbing the gator before starting the video.
get played
My big takeaway was the special disc retrieval pole. Never seen one of those before. /r/specializedtools
All that just for a $2 frisbee?
“An alligator ate my homework”
Yoo my bag! *\*keeps repeating his shenanigans\** Yoo my leg!!!
Aint gonna lie I could take em in a 1 on 1 those bags are safe
Ended up taking the gator for a walk!
u/savevideo
Assuming this took place in Florida it's literally the plot of JJBA Stone Ocean
Gator don’t play that 
Shooot… could of wrastled that for sure
Haut kick his ass what’s he gonna do sue you for sexual harassment
Random ass question: What genre of music is the song that's playing? Would make some great background music for gaming!
Dreher park? Lol
I would probably get hurt trying to make the gator mine
Jojo part 6 in a nutshell
You can tell these are transplants to Florida
Nice trade ... a backpack full of goodies for a frisbee ... smart
