CAMDEN, Ala. – A group of Alabama hunters is celebrating the catch of a lifetime: A 15-foot-long alligator weighing more than 1,000 pounds.
Al.com reports the monster gator was pulled from the water in south Alabama early Saturday during the state's alligator hunting season.
Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries biologists were able to measure the gator at 15 feet, but weighing it posed a challenge.

"Mmmm... fried gator tail."That one would probably be tough. You have to get them when they are young and have someone who knows how to cut them right to avoid the gristle.

Soak it in buttermilk before breading.

That will outfit half the county in boots and belts.

“Soak it in buttermilk before breading.”
I figure 100 gallons of milk and a pallet of stale bread should do the trick.

My wife used to mix tail meat with body meat 50/50 and use it to make a stew from an German recipe. Add a couple dozen potato dumplings and even the old Cajuns would come over and pig out.
