Frog giggin around gators

[Pegleg]

A couple of summers ago I decided to do some frog giggin over on the Oklawaha river. I loaded up my little 12' Sears boat and launched at the Eurika ramp. It was almost dark when I started up river. I didn't bring my outboard and was usein my trollin motor so I could be stealthy. I figured I'd motor up the river a few miles and then drift back to the ramp. I was slowly easeing along with batterie powered headlight on just puttin my gig on the end of the pole and gettin my gear ready before it got plumb dark. I was going along close to the bank when I heard somethin in the bushes. Just as I scanned the bank above me with the light a 9 foot gator spooked and jumped for the water. That dang lizard timed his jump just right. He jumped on the front of my boat and turned it bottom side up. I wish someone had been there to video the wreck. It would have won $10,000 on "Funniest Home Videos". Here's an old one legged fat guy trashin around next to his capsized boat wonderin if that big lizard was somewere close. I got the boat turned back over and gathered what gear I could find floatin around the area. I managed to get back in the boat in one piece. I guess the gator fled the area. Proly thought that crazy human splashin around in his river wouldn't make a good meal. Guess I was pretty lucky, the only thing that was lost in the wreck was the trollin motor batterie, flashlight and my pride. I decided to forget about giggin and headed back to the ramp to dry out.
