A woman and her gang of hunters have caught what is the biggest alligator in her town measuring a staggering 13 feet long.
The woman shocked her community after catching Mississippi’s longest alligator on record from public waters. The alligator measured a staggering 13 feet long.
According to CBSNews,
Tiffany Wienke revealed she and her party of six hunters could tell
from the gator’s head that they had spotted a big one Saturday night in
Claiborne County, near Port Gibson.
“There were a ton of people and we tried to get away from them,” she told The Clarion-Ledger. “We were just trolling through the water scanning bank to bank.”
Wienke says the gator managed to break both lines after a long
struggle, but the hunters were able to hook the reptile again after it
surfaced about 20 minutes later. According to the report, it took them
about nearly two hours to secure the gator, kill it and lift it into
their boat.

measured 13 feet, 7 7/8 inches, one-eighth more than the previous
record. In a Facebook post, the agency said the alligator’s belly girth
measured 59 inches and its tail girth measured 43 inches.
