14 feet? Holy .
HOUSTON – An 18-year-old Fort Bend County high school senior has become the record holder for the heaviest alligator ever caught in Texas.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials have certified an 800-pound gator bagged last week by Braxton Bielski.
He was hunting with his dad and a friend, both Houston police officers, after they won a Parks and Wildlife drawing for a 5-day permit to hunt in the Daughtrey Wildlife Management Area in South Texas, about 90 miles south of San Antonio.
Wildlife officials say the 14-foot-3-inch gator could be 30 to 50 years old. It was hooked on a line with raw chicken as bait, then shot. They had to pull the alligator alongside their flat-bottom boat across the lake to a beach area to lift it into their boat.

That's a lot of shoes.
Looks like the gator they caught last night on Swamp People.
I saw one bigger than that back in the 80's that got poached out of Anahuac. He was 12' from nose to back legs not counting the tail.
They just cut the tail off. It weighted 350#
They should put that Gator into an arena against a Grizzly bear.
where're those animal protectionists?
seriously! I am not even a little impressed.
It is a shame to see a nice old bull Gator die, but it's about time that one of these stories is legit!
Seriously, what the big deal in coming across a big ass gator, luring it in with chicken, then shooting it in the head? lol hunting
youd think after surviving for 50 years the gator would know that the chicken on a wire was sketchy
PETA gonna be mad.
