A fisherman in Florida got a surprise this week when he reeled in what he thought was a catfish, only to discover he'd hooked a baby alligator.<br /><br />The man was angling in a local pond in the Westchase area on Thursday when he felt something take the bait.<br /><br />"To our surprise we had an alligator on the line!" He said.<br /><br />"We pulled him out and removed the hook with the aid of a security guard and a growing number of neighbours that were coming to watch," he added.<br /><br />The alligator was not harmed and was released back into the pond, according to the filmer.
