Would take my wife and son out on the boat on the Ashley, lake moultrie, cooper. I never got in the water and I sure as hell didn’t let my 3 year old. That’s one reason for me that the upstate is better than the low country bc my family can swim in peace.

and emergency vehicles were everywhere. A local guy didn't surface until a couple days later but it wasn't related to gators.

besides Yankees, that is.
They want to avoid you as much as you want to avoid them.
In the Lowcountry, if you want to swim, boat, or water ski, you have to do it in either gator infested water or shark infested water. Or both.

that's most often the cause of attacks. Alligators are not aggressive animals at all unless threatened.

Like a deer stuffed away underwater. I know of a case where a wildlife officer was in a boat and the gator attacked.

May have to start toting a screwdriver in the back pocket in shady areas - no laws against being handy

And it smelled a little fishy, no pun intended. Fossil diving with a screw driver and a gator took you down 50 feet and you lived?
I dunno. Quotes seemed a little outrageous, too.

When we hook an alligator, the first thing they do is dive to the deepest part

of the river. There are about 3 holes in that area about 50 ft deep (it doesn't get much deeper than that anywhere else).
Why no belief?

Just having a little hard time with the idea that home boy made a round trip with said gator. But I guess so. The version I read was more outrageous sounding than the P&C one.
