Alligator Gives Female Angler An Experience She Won't Soon Forget

Watch this angler catch and release an alligator via SUP!

Accidentally hooking an alligator while fishing is quite common in the backwaters. When this happens, you have two options: cut the line or catch the animal, unhook it and release it back into the wild. This brave angler decided on the second option.

Watch the video below to see the whole thing for yourself!

While situations like this can be dangerous, it's better for the animal if it can be unhooked and sent back on its way. Lucky for this angler, the gator was small enough manipulate, even from her SUP. Keep in mind that extreme caution must be used while handling a gator of any size.
