Ahh, Florida. The home of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful oceans…
…and alligators, and as someone who lives in the Sunshine State, I can tell you that a gator can pop up on your property on any given day. But fortunately for us Floridians, we have Mike Dragich to take care of them for us when they become a problem.
Dragich, an MMA fighter and veteran of the Marine Corps, is going viral again after he caught an alligator with a trashcan, taking it off the property of a woman. And to make it even more impressive, he did this with no shoes on. (RELATED: Toby Keith-Owned Horse Is Running In Kentucky Derby)
“Taking the trash out in Florida,” captioned an Instagram video of the scene. “Late last night, a woman was letting her dog out and noticed a long tail slide by her patio. I responded from an Easter dinner with family and improvised using a trashcan to remove the alligator from the property.
“Thankfully, no animals or people were injured! Pay attention to your surroundings!”

Damn, I’m so excited for the summer to get here.
Yeah, we have to deal with violent storms such as hurricanes and humidity that will start melting you within a few seconds down here in Florida, but it’s the season to take a vacation, and once again visit the Everglades where I will be seeing PLENTY of alligators.
Good vibes ahead, ladies and gentlemen.
