Yank, I've got a buddy named Ken. We were in the backwaters last December and saw a 4-5' gator sleeping on the bank. Ken said he was going to catch it cause it was in a "state of semi hibernation". He must of been watching the discovery channel or something. Anyway, I said Ken, you best be leaving that thing alone. He thought a second or two, then paddled right up to the bank, got out, poked it with his paddle, then looked at me and grinned. Well it awoke. Nearly got his A** and chased him up a tree. Ken and I have treed a lot of coons but this was a first seeing him up a tree. It took an hour or so for me and my ugly dog Buster (RIP) to run the thing off. You asking the question about the dagger is exactly like Ken thinking about what he was going to do before he went on did it anyway. He knew enough about gators to leave them alone, but just had to try it.
