“I thought I heard a fish jump to my left—turned out not to be a fish,” said Joyce “About three feet from the kayak I made out the head of the gator and that was it, I had no time to react.”

”My mind was playing catch-up at that point,” said Joyce. “Basically, when I made out the head of the gator towards the front end of the kayak it was kind of just a state of shock. As soon as it hit the kayak and I went what just happened?”

The gator came from the bottom of the river so swiftly that within a blink of an eye kayak got overturned and it was quite shivering moment for him and was flabbergasted. Hastily, he grabbed a branch of a tree and quickly made the kayak to be in a normal state.

“If it hit and there was nothing to grab on the right side of me, I would have inverted,” added Joyce. “It could’ve been a lot worse.”

After this, he started paddling it and the alligator was not seen again.

This isn’t the first time that Joyce, who is a skilled paddler, has seen a alligator during a trip, but it’s the maiden time one has ever charged at him.

He is in awe of the reptile’s power. “Usually they make a splash or move and make a ruckus in the water,” said Joyce. “But this was a continuous charge from about 20 feet away. It definitely made me think a little bit differently what their capabilities are.”

Joyce believes the alligator became aggressive because of the ongoing mating season & it could have been protecting its young ones. So its natural and a part of the natural ecosystem.

He says he plans to paddle this part of the river again but during a different time of the year.

The entire incident was caught on his GoPro cam by Joyce who said he was not injured during the incident & his kayak did not sustain any damage.
