Several alligator hunters in Mississippi recently made the catch of a lifetime and also set a state record.
Woods was accompanied by Joey Clark, Will Thomas, and Tanner White, who have caught many big alligators in previous years. But when they spotted one humongous river creature, they realized things would be different this time.
Woods hooked the gator at around 9:00 p.m., and the men fought to hold onto him. However, he got loose several times, going underwater and underneath logs. “He knew what he was doing. The crazy thing is he stayed in that same spot,” Woods said. The creature thought he was in control until he started getting tired hours later, and the hunters were able to get him into their boat around 4:00 a.m.
