gator freaked me out

I usually ride at a large lake but yesterday I went to this little river that I've hunted on quite a bit.

I know there are gators but you hardly see them. I've seen some big ones too.

Well I figured I wouldn't see them on the main part since boats go up and down it. I started boarding yesterday and I look over and there's a gator(head was probably 1.5 ft. long) in the middle of the river. He went under, I proceeded to freak out.

I know you guys in FL and other places probably see them(and other things) all the time.

I had a fun run but was terrified the entire time.

Should I put a knife on my calf muscle for reassurance next time?

Alligators don't really scare me. Water moccasins are what bother me, cause most of the time you won't notice them until there right infront of you.

I would expecting to hear encouraging posts like "I have tons of gators at my lake, they never mess with you"

"gators are more scared of you than you are then"

They're all over the place around here. We rode up on this guy on the St. Johns river. Wasn't afraid of us at all.

One time on pull I saw this guy riding, and he was afraid of falling and bobbing in the water, so before he was done, he did a huge turn out to the right, and had to boat kill the power, he let go of the rope, and all his momentum swung him all the way up to the swim step, it was tight, his chest didn't even touch the water.
