A cool moment captured on video of a young boy catching a fish suddenly turned into a frightening scene as a gator ruined what should have been a great father-son moment.
7-year-old Dawson McMahon just caught a largemouth bass and was reeling it in from his backyard in Palm Coast, Florida with his dad Sean shooting video of this seminal life-moment. But as the proud dad encouraged his son to land the fish, suddenly, out of nowhere, a gator comes out of the water to snag the fish and subsequently the pole from young Dawson.
Smartly Dawson dropped the pole and retreated immediately away from the water’s edge.
His father Sean explained on Facebook “Dawson caught a bass tonight and out of nowhere an alligator came up, ate the bass and ripped his pole into the water.”
Thankfully it was the One that got away and not TWO.
