A man who trapped and killed an alligator so big it pulled his boat around a lake has snared what authorities say is Florida’s longest gator on record, exceeding 14 feet.
Wildlife officials say the gator caught by a nurse who traps gators as a hobby, weighed 654 pounds and measured 14 feet, 3-1/2 inches.
The hunter said the gator thrashed and pulled his boat for about 45 minutes after being harpooned and took two hours to tow to dock.
