CAMDEN, Alabama, Aug 19: A group of Alabama hunters are celebrating the catch of a lifetime: A 15-foot (4.5-meter)-long alligator weighing more than 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms).Al.com (http://bit.ly/1p5ycbg ) reports the monster gator was pulled from the water in south Alabama early Saturday during the state´s alligator hunting season.
Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries biologists were able to measure the alligator, but weighing it posed a challenge.
The first attempt completely destroyed a winch assembly used to hoist most average gators.
So they had to use a backhoe to lift the animal.The alligator is the largest ever legally killed by an Alabama hunter.
It was caught by Mandy and John Stokes, Kevin Jenkins and his children, 16-year-old Savannah and 14-year-old Parker.
