A fisherman lost his catch to a crocodile in the Northern Territory's East Alligator River on September 12, much to the shock and bemusement of onlookers. Luke Robertson cast a line into the crocodile-infested waters near Cahills Crossing and snagged a 75 cm-long barramundi. However, "just as I was about to get close to the crossing a four-metre croc started chasing it," http://www.ntnews.com.au/news/video-fisherman-loses-barra-to-hungry-croc-at-cahills-crossing/news-story/ac24de4fe13aa0ae18ed5f8f1eb0ec06 Robertson told NT News . "It was the biggest croc we'd seen down there." Seeing the predator close in on his catch, Robertson decided it was best to give it up.
