Additional Info
Southern waters yielded three 13-foot alligators in a six-day span. The hunters bagged each with different equipment, methods and motivations and all experienced different outcomes. Steve Hill investigated for the full story.

Wow! Those things are huge. Congrats to those guys, and lady, who caught them. As for the idiots on the internet, maybe they should take a swim in the Chattahoochee.
40 pounds of meat from a 1000+ lb gator? That is insane!
Gator fat is about the second nastiest thing in the world. I say that cause I don't know everything, and there is probably something out there that is nastier.
wow what big gators they must be good eating.
I gotta say; it's nice to see nice things written about my sister's excellent catch !! She's amazing and it's good to read comments from people that realize that !
not only she is agreat outdoorswoman. she is pretty to ! I bet Missy is pretty too !
Congratulations to all of you, very nice
I just cannot get over how big those gators are. Sure makes you think twice before you dip your toes in the water!
I have seen some big boys down on the Okeechobee but I don't think they were as big as these though! Congrats to all of you.
What's up with these people who think this comment section is for advertising. To those of you that know how to use the comment section more power to you. As for the gators,those are some of the largest ones I've ever seen congrats to all three.I'd like to try some gator hunting some day.
I can't believe you only get 40 lbs. of meat out of one of those monsters, don't tell me it tastes like Chicken. I have given alot of Chicken to alot of people and no one ever said it tastes just like Gator. And by the way whats the deal with Knock off Doris can you sell on this site
gator has a naturally spicy flavor, we use the shoulder meat for alligator sauce piquante down in New Orleans, and grind the rest to make sausage. Except for thetail meat of course, that is the best! tastes nothing like chicken, thank God! I was crawfishing one day back of the keebler cookie plant out by the N.O. airport and saw a gator there that convinced me to leave! I dont get scared of many of them but that giant female had me quaking in my chest waders! i miss home looking at these pix, good job to all!
That whole article is amazing, Ive fished and swam in both lake Seminole and the Chattahoochee river since i can remember and there's been many time that i can remember seeing some monster gators but none quite that big. Last July some friends and I stayed at my youth leaders lake house on Lake Eufaula(just below the Chattahoochee) and a month after we left someone caught a 12footer just in front of the dock we were jumping off. Just goes to show that even though we are at the top of the food chain, mother nature can always be right under our noses watching lol. And yes gator fat is very nasty but you can't beat some fried gator tail YUM!!!
the 40 pounds thing had to be a typo, i think maybe they ment 400 or maybe 40 pounds in the head, thats impossible for only 40 pounds on a 1000 pound animal, unless it spoiled, if so thats a horrible waste and almost ruins the the trophy
ah nevermind the thing was fat, watch the swamp people series they will tell you the fat will make you sick
holy crap those are bigger than my boat... and i launched in that river
nice kill I have never seen such a big alligator.
Good job Maryellen! I was one of the Boston.com posters that came to your defense. Half the know-it-alls up here have no clue how to bait a hook, but they'll be the first to tell us how not to live our lives. The best were the golf nuts who say we hunters are cruel while their golf courses being built caused the death of millions of animals by bulldozer. Enjoy your trophy, you worked hard for it!
those are HUGE!!!
Hard to imagine that many huge gators "out there" waiting for my first hunt...someday, with a black rifle.
thats a beast of a gator and its hard to belive it could move with all that fat
post your boots and jewelry in the department store ads section. we don't have room for these BS ads here.this is for hunting and fishing comments ONLY.
And the mystery of all the missing children in South Carolina has finally been solved... holy crap, that thing's huge.
thats some good catch their, bit it took some hauling
wow
three 13-foot alligators in a six-day span! REMINDS ME OF THE EERIES~
