7mmMagnum4.5m, lucky lad to get away from that big bugger.
I was up in the Daintree fishing for Jungle Perch a year or 2 ago, was about lunch time and I just had this eerie feeling come over me so I backed off further away from the water (was already fishing 3m or so back from the waters edge) and sat on a rock and cracked open a sandwich...10 minutes later up popped a big saltie, I'd reckon he was 3.5-4m long, definitely big enough to ruin my day that's for sure. It was quite obvious he'd been watching me, waiting for me to make the wrong move.
Chickened out after that and went fishing up at Lake Tinaroo for a few days chasing Barra.

BakesOnly had one run in with a croc in the NT. Was always cautious.
