Summary: There’s a whole lotta visions one has when one hears the term “Florida Man”…but Sarasota’s Eric Merda may have to best story yet. He was out in the swamps on a walkabout when he ended up jumping into Manatee Lake and encountering an alligator who decided to snack on Eric’s right arm, tearing it off at the elbow. What followed was three days of him trying to find his way back to find someone to help him…but for the whole freaky story, listen to Eric tell the tale himself…and, man, it’s about as Florida Man as you can get!!
