920 Pound Gator Pulled from Alabama Lake

Yeah you read the title correctly. Alabama authorities say a 13 foot gator pulled from a southeast Alabama lake weighed in at 920 pounds!

Authorities say the alligator was caught by Scott Evans of Center Point, Alabama, and his friends, Jeff and Justin Gregg. The gator was weighed at a lumber company in Eufaula, AL.

Last year, a 15-foot and 9-inch gator weighing 1,011.5 pounds was caught in Meek Creek, a tributary of the Alabama River. About 115 pounds of that gator was a deer in the gator’s stomach.

Goes to show you that when swimming in lakes and rivers, even here in South Texas, you really have no idea what is swimming underneath you. So be careful and use caution and for God's sake....don't swim alone or in places known as alligator hot spots.

As for me, I just prefer to stay my ass out of the water.
