Moment Fisherman Almost Dragged into River By Furious Saltwater Crocodile After Teased With Lure
Fisherman Kody Duncan narrowly escaped an angry crocodile in the Wujal Wujal Falls, north of Cairns on Saturday after he provoked it with his fishing pole (pictured)
In the footage, Mr Duncan zoomed in to show the croc lying motionless in the clear water, sarcastically calling it 'a weird looking log'.
He then started splashing the lure on the end of his fishing rod into the water just above the croc's head.
Mr Duncan had barely dipped the lure in the water twice when the crocodile came rushing out of the water to chase Mr Duncan.
He luckily escaped the angry crocodile, ironically, wearing a pair of crocs.
Mr Duncan posted the footage to TikTok, gaining more than 900,000 likes and almost 5000 comments.
'Sees danger, pokes danger,' one commenter wrote.
'Wearing crocs when getting chased by a croc. What a sight,' a second wrote.
