Alligator hunting season kicked off in September, and folks nabbed some monster gators.
Ever since the 2019 gator hunting season started, there have been multiple reports of people catching gators weighing hundreds of pounds. For example, mere minutes after the season opened in Mississippi, hunters snagged a gator that was 13 feet, six inches long.
Its measurements indicated that it could have been near the state record for the largest male gator caught in public waters.
