Fisherman looking for catfish nearly pulls an alligator into his kayak

A fisherman kayaking on the water at Lake Fausse Point State Park in Louisiana was trying to catch a few catfish, but he unknowingly invited an alligator out of the water. He immediately threw his noodle back in the water and pedaled away as quickly as he could.

The anglers fortunately got away safely, and captured the moment on a GoPro.
