While fishing South Louisiana last week with Marsh Man Masson, Jake Springer, 24, hooked two alligators, which apparently is becoming a trend throughout the region. On the second one, he really wanted his hook back, so he took matters into his own hands – literally! (at 5:20 minutes into the video) This occurred less than two weeks after Jonathan Ryan, also fishing with Marsh Man Masson, hooked three alligators on one trip.
