Fished the glades from the bank today. Again I was blown away that most of the fish caught were the peacock bass. All were small. I did manage a few black bass. Had at least a dozen oscars and cyclids. Anyway most of the fish I threw back were being tracked by alligators. Here are a couple of short clips of the gator action.

I have just opened my freshwater season and the bass are turned on, but as mentioned above getting peacocks probably 5 to 1 and we do have oscars here as well.  Caught a pea 3-4# but the phone pic was unworthy of a post.  I am seeing more gators than normal this time of year too.  My freshwater fishing is limited to my Delray Beach neighborhoods from shore.

that is pretty intense to see a gator

Although the videos are cool, people should not throw your fish back next to gators. They lose their fear of man and they will come up to your boat, or on shore for the next unsuspecting angler, looking for a snack.

Your crazy man, I would have been in that boat screaming like a girl!
