Those are special gator & snake proof flip flopsIn flip flops also..that fucker launches at him and he is missimg a limb ha...been around a few gators and them suckers can be dam fast coming out of the water...
But honestly, I could tell by his demeanor he was more interested in my company than how I tasted, he'd turn his back to me and close his eyes and stay up on the bank instead of hiding under the water. if I had my back to him tying a line or baiting a hook, he would come around to be able to see what I was doing. Id definetly say this was someones pet that was released in the area.
