Crocodile fishing 5000dong

With just a couple of days left we decided to head out into the Mekong Delta. Primarily to visit the floating markets. Meandering through the waterways was enjoyable, but stopping for lunch on an island led to unexpected events. Walking around we saw a sign "crocodile fishing 5000Dong" beside an enclosure of crocodiles. So, naturally we said let's go! Grabbing a bamboo pole with a bit of meat tied to the end with string we started teasing crocodiles. This was a good lesson in why not to swim with crocodiles. Some of the others who were there held their meat low over the water and when it was grabbed they often managed to keep some of it back. I was trying to make the crocodiles jump, and boy can they jump high! The one that finally got the meat had it's entire body out of the water to it's back legs (and Jason snapped the photo to prove it!).
