Saw this behaviour when hooking crabs south of Darwin. My opinion is the croc was trying to get away from the people in the boat. Little ones are not that aggressive, and a 4 metre tinny is too big to handle. That hiss they give? once heard , never forgotten.

4.7 metres with part of the tail missing. Bitten off by an even bigger croc., so they say. As croc stories go, up there with the best. Must be front page of the NT News.

Why did the crocodile cross the road? because it could. Just to show how dangerous it is to fish off these crossings, see how it disappears on the other side.
