Description
You in the swamp and you hear a hissin sound. You know it not a snake. You do not see any movement around you. But you heard that sound one time in your live.
A lone time ago when you went crabing on some island in the bay by the Gulf of Mexico. A big gator got between you and the boat and you was out of your mind. What to do? They can out run you and out swim you too lol. That gator have it mouth open and you looking down it mouth to it belly. You know to run in cirles for the gator would have a hard time to run that way and in zig-zags too. But then another boat comes up and a man starts to make funny sounds that I can not spell here guess it "gooh" sound but loud. The gator turns and goes into the water towards the man in the boat. Wow wonder what that sound the man made and you ask him as you getting into your boat. The man say it the mateing call for the gators. And I saw at lest 15 gators swimming to him lol.
I heard that "goohing" sound all around and deep in the swamp yesterday; but I heard the "hissing' sound close to me so I got back into my truck but I took this shot before I did.
Did not know if it would come out for the sun blinded me in the sky and in the water. I turn the camera setting all the way down to see it I could get the shot and I did. I could not see if I did but I did lol
thanks for ever thing. I guess I could have put this in writeing but I like the shot and this is a true story happen about 20 years ago. When ou hear the hiss of a gator you never forget it.
sorry for the long winded lol

great story and pic.
It sure was lucky for you that the other guy came along when he did.Wonderful picture to match the thrilling story.
Excellent shot of the swamp Jock, very errie feel to it. Facinating story too. Excellent work!
An enthralling tale, and an illustrative photo to match! I suspect I'd be more worried about water moccasins than gators, though I understand they never stop growing. Saw a 14-footer one time, but he was so well fed that he was too lethargic to be terrifying. FIVE STARS
