Yes just cut the line. Alligators have bad arse acids in their stomached that will just dissolve the hooks.


I don't think it works this way all the time or even most of the time.

I've cut some off in the past(after I was finished with my tags) and found them dead and floating on top the water in the same area the following week.

So the prices have been improving. Alligator pretty much has to be bigger than 7ft to be worth anything.
I remember back in the late 80's they were $50.00 per foot.

So I'm curious about something. If you pull up your line and see that you have a fairly small gator on it, can you just cut the line, set it free, and not harvest the gator, if it's not worth much money and save your tags for bigger gators?
A bird in the hand... They keep it, skin, scrape, fill with salt and tie. Hold on and see if you get a bigger one.

They live better if you leave the tail on.
