Fishermen Steve McEwan, 50, and Craig Adams, 45, were nearly tossed into the St. Mary river at the Shady Camp barrage during a fishing expedition in the Northern Territory when a 13-foot salt water croc nearly jumped inside their boat while attempting to steal Adam’s 2-foot barramundi catch (See picture above).

The Territory river is known for being home to the largest concentration of crocodiles, approximately 523 (as of 2007). Last year an 11-year-old girl was gobbled up by a saltie as she swam in the river with friends. Despite warnings,  tourists continue to swim and fish in the river.
