I guess he better get the kid an RC car because the boat thing isn’t going to work out very well.

From the looks of it, his evident knowledge that a croc was coming, and the reaction, I'd say he was expecting this to happen - the kid seemed pleased rather than upset in any event.
What would happen if you had a more powerful one and the croc took it in one bite - could you steer the croc around the lake?
I do agree with the comment about getting close to the water's edge though - doesn't seem like a great idea in a croc infested lake.

+1 on being that close to the water. Wasn't a croc but in Florida a small boy got taken by an alligator close to the edge.

IvW, I totally agree with your assessment i.e. "idiot" there is an old saying that if you play with fire you are going to get burned.
A new method of baiting?
Hope the Croc did not swallow it.

Yip, hope the kid makes it past 18 with that wildlife education from a "game ranger"!
Would have been a good educational clip if a 12 footer grab "the man" when he had his back to the water standing at the edge. Knobhead!

It seems he purposely had the croc take the boat.
