Biggest wild gator I've ever seen is 12 footer

here in Louisiana .

[SafariClubUSA]

@mwillblade your in a great state for alligators....seems to be a little of everything there!

[N00bcrunch3r]

@mwillblade

12 feet is the largest you've seen? You probably have never seen an adult male gator, I would assume.

[mwillblade]

@mwillblade Been in the swamps all my life ,12 is my biggest .

In the 1980's the state of Arkansas thought alligators were extinct in the state and had 2 gamewardens go to Lake Charles Louisiana to capture gators for restocking Arkansas. The gamewardens were ERNIE and Tim. Tim went on to become a USFWS Special agent, a good guy, unlike most of them. Both are now retired. So those might be some offspring? The big ones might be the origional stock?

[Delticola]

I've seen gators 15-17 foot in Central Alabama, Southern Mississippi, Texas N of Houston near Midway, TX. But the biggest ever was near 23 foot, unbelievable, surely nobody will ever believe me. I was with 1 friend, the gator looked unreal on a sandbar in the Pascagoula River. Looked like a crocodile on a discovery chnl video, the kind that eats zebra in Africa. Unreal huge. I told a guy in Louisiana and he brought out a casting of a 20+ gator footprint. Crop duster pilots would see it.

its amazing what all is out there , that alot of ppl dont get to see

[SafariClubUSA]

@Delticola a buudy of mine crp dusts, he was telling me he sees some huge ones that I have a hard time getting to

[SIMPLYTEETS]

@Delticola In North Carolina a guy killed a 17 that took his dog. weighed 2500

[Delticola]

@SIMPLYTEETS Yes sir, 17 is big. I think since their numbers were down so low until the 1980's I think nobody ever publicized how big they get. With the right amount of food early in their growth years there is no reason they cannot get 20 feet like other large crocodilians. I'm sure they get 20 foot in some places. Maybe not Florida where everybody thinks alligators live but in some deep woods swamps they get huge. In the years to come we will here of more.

[SIMPLYTEETS]

@Delticola O for sure. My uncle found a Skull of and alligator in a gator swamp that was 5 feet long alone.

[hoodoowoman]

You are braver than me my friend. I grew up in the LA swamps and played chicken with some 12 footers as a kid. No thank you!! There are some 16 -20 footers there too! Thank you for doing this and letting us chickens watch! Khat
