A fisherman was just two inches from certain death when a monster five-metre crocodile jumped into his boat and tried to devour him.
Chris Perger, 32, who lives at Wollongong on the NSW south coast, was in the Northern Territory last month on a fishing trip at the Kakadu National Park when he cheated death.
Perger was camping on a boat along the South Alligator River and had just finished dinner with a group of three friends when the croc attacked on April 24.
