Great stuff guys. Luv ya work.....nothing like seeing a huge croc to get the heart pumping and the mouth go dry... I'm an SA man but on holiday in the NT many years ago with a mate happened across a really decent one at Shady which turned just in front of our tiny on the surface. Really gave a good impression of the size tip to tail....left a big impression of who was boss at that end of the pond. We turned around and didn't venture there again ;-)....anyway enough of my stories keep yours rolling. I'm enjoy every one and am looking forward to the next.

It's absolutely crazy how the Crocs are much more aggressive than the American Alligator! I've seen two videos of Alligators killing Crocs! The alligator is smart he grabs onto the legs of the Croc and death rolls until the legs pop off and after the croc can't fight back the gator takes him down and burys him under the roots and drowns the croc! I always thought that the Crocs would kill the gators but after the two videos I know better! Now one of the gators was a mother protecting her nest from the crocodile! But I definitely thought that the bully croc would kill the gators easily! But in both videos the Alligators went right for the legs while the croc bit all over the gators back and back of the neck!!!

Looks like you guys are fishing Deep Creek on Kalpowar Station. You will only get Barra early morning, just as the sun rises. There is always a resident BIG Croc there. Seen one in there (10 years ago,) over 6mtrs. It was pulling cattle into the creek as they came down to drink at sunrise or sunset. The ringers almost ran over it in the cattle truck as it was crossing the road between creeks. Waste of time fishing for Barra after 9am. Keep away from the edge of the creek !!!
