Back in 1914 ...

The Monroe Journal Vol. 47, #37, 9/17/1914. Front page news.
Big Gator Killed...Menace for Years Killed by Hunters.
The largest alligator in west Florida, and the most destructive one, has been killed in a lake near Red Bay in Washington County. To reach the pint, it was necessary to go from Pensacola by boat up the Choctawhatchie bay and then travel overland for 18 miles.........Its end was brought about by Levi Miller and Tom Ward.......the alligator measured 19 feet in length and 6 feet at the shoulders...a $200 reward was posted after a mare, two grown cattle, numerous goats, and samll livestock went missing

He alone is educated who has learned the lessons of open-mindedness

I believe La is 19 foot record.

so why can't a 19 footer come from Fl/Al line area????


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Because we don't have the right Soil to grow them that big smile And your neighbor will shoot it if you don't so Gators can't get big here.

16 footers aren't uncommon in Lake Eufaula.

I live about 6 miles from Red Bay and I've never heard about a gator like that being killed.

Yep. And the one in the Witch's Ditch is probably 25, 27 feet by now. Grows a foot or two every year or so, at least. How? Dunno, but "they" swear it's that big. They seen it.
