Well a couple of my friends and I were drawn for the gator hunt and all three of us gigged a trophy. I don't have much time to go into detail of all the events but I can tell you that gigging a gator is not as easy at it seems. I missed 4 different gators before I got mine (6:00 am Saturday morning) and by buddies each missed 3 or 4 times at different gators before they got theirs (both at 3:00 Sunday morning). Mine was the largest at 10'7" and could have been longer if the tail hadn't been bitten off at an earlier stage in his life. The second largest was 9'4" and the third was 7'0". I'm not sure on the weights of the other two but mine weighed in at a whopping 271 pounds. I was told that if he was at his peak weight he would be pushing 400 pounds. I would love to post a picture or two but this new board format will not let me, saying that the file is too big or something and I don't know how to reduce it.
