While fishing a couple years ago, I was in waist deep water about 20 feet from shore with a gator about 15 feet from me, though it was probably about 4 feet long. I noticed it, made eye contact with the beast and it immediately ducked under the water. Didn't think it was possible for me to leap completely out of the water 20 feet to shore but I did it. Once I got out he popped up right where I was standing. Nope is right.
