Hunt #2: 2007 Season

Jason and Jeff connected on this massive river gator Sept. 25, 2007.  This brute measured 13ft.-1/2-inch in length and weighed an impressive 705lbs. on a certified cattle scale.  This is by far the biggest and best gator that the guys have ever landed. 

This gator fought for over two-hours, but finally the SGT crew won out.  Gators that are this big are tricky and take special care.  Too much pressure can break a line, too little can allow the gator to get into a submerged tree-top or stump field.

After several attempts, it was apparent that this gator was not going to ride home in the boat, he was just too heavy, so we had to tow him nearly 2 miles up the river to the landing.

A special thanks to our buddy, Keith Godwin, for bringing his utility trailer down to load him up and take him to the walk-in cooler (Tara, Keith's wife, didn't seem too happy that we called at two-o’clock in the morning and woke everybody up, but we really don't think Keith minded too much).
