One kayak went past him very close and the gator went under their kayak

Video 1st Gator

I went by this 8' gator on my right, very close. As I was passing he went under my kayak

Video 2nd Gator

Bit gator is slightly to the left of my bow, BIG ONE.

I did not want to get to close as that would scare him into the water and I wanted the rest to see him.
