Luck Day by John D. Andersen

Description

I watched this gator thrash around in the shallow waters of Big Cypress for almost 1/2 hour, sweeping his head back and forth, jaws slamming repeatedly in hopes of snagging a bite to eat. I never saw him catch anything, but upon later review of my images it turns out that I was lucky to capture this photo of a bass jumping out of the way of the snapping teeth. A lucky day for us both!
