E61: Death Roll at Trunding Creek
It was supposed to be a normal day. A fishing rod, a quiet creek, and two steps into the water. That’s all it took. An eleven-foot saltwater crocodile— striking from behind. Jaws clamp down. Water surges. And the fight for survival begins. For more than thirty minutes, Todd Bairstow fought one of the most powerful predators on Earth, bare-handed and waist-deep in water… with a crocodile trying to drag him under. Death rolls. Shattered bones. And the moment when hope almost disappears. “Help! Croc! Help!” Against impossible odds— and through sheer will— help arrives. This episode tells the unbelievable true story of a man who refused to let go… a dog who never stopped fighting… and a predator that has ruled Australia’s waters for sixty-five million years. This isn’t a tale of luck. It’s a story of survival— at the very edge of the food chain. Grabbed from Behind.
