ATTLEBORO, Mass. Three men go fishing in Attleboro. Two of them catch bass. And the third?
A baby alligator.
Howard Angevine was fishing with three friends in Ten Mile River when one of them spotted the reptile.
Angevine called out for a net, but when no one delivered, he jumped in the water and chased the gator.
The animal bit one of his fingers, but in the end, Angevine won.
Animal Control Officer Kathy Pereira was called to the scene. She wrapped the gator in a wet towel and contacted an educational firm that sent two reptilian specialists.
Pereira says it's the first time in recent memory that anyone has caught an alligator in Attleboro.
Two gators were caught in Townsend, Massachusetts last week.
