An enormous 920-pound alligator that was captured in a small Florida lake in late August could be the second-heaviest gator in the state’s history.
Florida hunting guide Kevin Brotz was with two friends when they captured the nearly 13-foot-4-inch alligator from a small lake in the Orlando area on Aug. 27.“I’ve lived here my whole life, and I think about gators, but I’ve never really experienced this.”“And then you add a gator whose head is this big. All he has to do is turn, and we’re in trouble. So immediately, all we kept saying, all I kept saying was, ‘Guys, we have to be smart. We have to play this safe.
“Ultimately, if a beast of that size gets a hold of you or, God forbid, a child, the odds are tough,” he told WESH. “I don’t ever feel good about killing an animal. But with that being said, I respect the harvest.” Brotz said hunting permits and tags are given to hunters in an effort to balance the alligator population.lists the state record for weight at 1,043 pounds. The gator the guys caught last month is currently thought to be the second heaviest but that record has not yet been confirmed.
