It's not the one you see you need to worry about

First off, people know how to estimate gators like the fish they catch. I can't tell you the amount of people that told me they saw a 14' gator.
A 3-4' gator is like 10-15 lbs. definitely not something to worry about unless you intentionally antogonize it. Most trappers won't mess with anything under 6'.
Even a 6' gator could only weigh 70lbs or less. 9' is when they really start to blow up in weight and you need to start worrying about them. I've caught 8 footers that were only 120 lbs so that length is not necessarily dangerous either. 9 is when they slow down and fatten up usually.
