"They killed one in Alabama that was 28’ 1”,,,"

Naw ... that story, along with the photo of the gator hanging from a crane, has been credited to a half-dozen places across the south and has been a internet sensation for 7-8 years.. The photo actually came from Texas and the gator was around 13 feet. No 28-foot alligator has ever been recorded.

TANKS a bunch for that info,,,

] The largest specimen ever recorded was found in Louisiana and measured 19 feet 2 inches (5.84 m)[,,,wiki),,,

I don’t think this correct either,,,

A guy named Kelly ran an alligator farm and raised much

of the stock that the state bought and used to restock

back in the early 60’s when their numbers got so low,,,

I saw that old bull myself,,,

That one was 22’+,,,

We used to watch him feed them,,,

Just like sloppin’ the hawgs,,,

If one got too close he would bang them on the head with

the trashcan that he used to feed them...
