So the prices have been improving. Alligator pretty much has to be bigger than 7ft to be worth anything.

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?

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.

You can't do that anymore. With the tagging system, the alligator hide business is extremely regulated. Every alligator has to be tagged immediately upon taking the gator and every buyer must record the tag and report to wildlife when buying.
