I'm still a little skeptical of the size of this gator. It is definitely big but if it is 15ft it will be the largest documented caught gator in the country in the last 50-100 years.

You're correct. It's 14'8
Posted on 8/17/14 at 12:16 pm to Bama and Beer
All the other pics, I was undecided and now I'm thinking more like 12'

Report says 10ft
Report says 3.5 meters which is closer to 12ft, so yes...bigger than 10ft.

"Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Biologists had no trouble measuring the beast at 15 feet even, but they had to call for some relief when trying to weigh it.
"The first attempt completely destroyed the winch assembly used to easily hoist most average gators. It was the same mechanism used to weigh the Fancher alligator."
Enlisting the assistance of a park backhoe to lift it, a WFF biologist officially called the weight at 1,011.5 pounds."
"Maybe the best one ever. An internet search suggests the Stokes Gator may be the largest American alligator ever legally killed by a hunter.
Just this June, Safari Club International declared a 14-foot, 8-inch, 880-pound alligator killed in Chalk Creek near Lufkin, Texas by Justin Wells of Bossier City, La., in 2007 as the new world record."

Old record used to be 14ft2in I think.
My cousin killed a 13'6 and 13'11 about 10 years ago in Venice. Largest one weighed around 1,000lbs. It was weighed on a certified seafood scale.
It's rare that those big ones will have all of their tail. A shortened tail(from injury or fight) can rob a big gator of 8+in of measurement.
My uncle found a dead gator on the refuge a long time ago in Venice that they estimated would have been 14.5+ So it's possible. Just not very common today with hunting and how long a gator has to evade humans to get that big.

Looks like it is legit. Pictures in the article do the gator some more justice. That's one big SOB.
