00:00:12so
00:00:13here we go I mean this is the perfect
00:00:15example every single time we’re here we
00:00:18have what a 2030 minute maybe one hour
00:00:21argument over the size of these animals
00:00:22yep if I say it’s a 5 meter croc he says
00:00:25no no it’s a 4 meter
00:00:26oh oh I mean that’s why I’m so curious
00:00:31to put the laser cam to the test I spot
00:00:34a huge croc and it’s far enough out of
00:00:36the water for me to get a measurement
00:00:38I shine lasers exactly one foot apart
00:00:41onto the croc I then take a picture of
00:00:45the crocodile dots and all then I load
00:00:50the picture into my computer based on
00:00:53the foot wide scale I’ve projected onto
00:00:55its hide the software calculates the
00:00:58croc size the verdict 16 feet 1 inch not
00:01:04the giant I’m after but it’s a chance to
00:01:07test the laser Cam’s accuracy that is if
00:01:10I can catch
00:01:12alright here’s the plan since we’re
00:01:15right on top of the crocodiles we’re
00:01:17gonna lower a rope straight down with it
00:01:19with a noose we’re gonna put a piece of
00:01:21chicken on the end of the snare we’re
00:01:23going to try to maneuver that noose over
00:01:24the head of the crocodile tighten it up
00:01:26then throw the rope down to someone on
00:01:29the beach which will hold on to it until
00:01:30we can get down there and fight the
00:01:32animal it’s Lewis who heads down to the
00:01:34Riverside where one and I will join her
00:01:37once we’ve snared the crop will pull it
00:01:39ashore put a tape measure on it
00:01:41gather some scientific data let the
00:01:43animal go
00:01:46I swing the baited lure as close as I
00:01:49can to the Crocs now we don’t have him
00:01:57know it oh we don’t have him go Edom
00:01:59he missed the snare the snares not on us
00:02:02on his job but it’s stolen our chicken
00:02:05Crocs don’t get to be 16 feet unless
00:02:08they’re savvy we tie on another piece
00:02:11and try again
00:02:16okay all right we got it we got him
00:02:20around both the upper and the lower
00:02:22snout it’s not as good it’s just the
00:02:23upper snout but it’ll work all right
00:02:25make sure nobody’s tangled in this row
00:02:27okay one can you throw the rope
00:02:29take up the slack
00:02:39loose calls us all yeah the big croc has
00:02:43outsmarted us again you know when you’ve
00:02:45got a very powerful tail pulling a
00:02:47one-ton body in the opposite direction
00:02:49sometimes you can pull that snare off
00:02:50and that’s what happened we won’t have
00:02:52many opportunities before the croc gets
00:02:55suspicious hopefully we’ll get it this
00:02:59time it’s okay
00:03:06I get the news around its jaws I’m gonna
00:03:10tighten one okay
00:03:16throw the rope one throw it hurry it’s
00:03:26up to lose to hold the crotch until we
00:03:28get down to hell but it’s pulling her
00:03:32into the river she calls my cameraman
00:03:34Brian over help me but I um help me
00:03:40man we’re just in time
00:03:49I add a second road but the croc just
00:03:53fights even harder there’s no way we’ll
00:04:01get this mammoth out of the water I
00:04:04cover its eyes to calm
00:04:11that is a monster that is a monster croc
00:04:14this may be the biggest cock I’ve ever
00:04:16captured
00:04:17but this close to the water we’re taking
00:04:20a big risk other crocodiles have come to
00:04:23check out the commotion and we’re well
00:04:26within their striking distance watch out
00:04:28behind us we got a big croc moving in
00:04:30right behind us I hope we come out of
00:04:34this one in one piece
00:04:39all right
