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.
