What A Gator: 800 Pounder Caught In Louisiana


 Neil sold the gator to Big Al's restaurant in Houma.

From The New York Daily News:
That brute will make one helluva handbag.
A fisherman in southern Louisiana made the catch of his life on Wednesday when he hauled in a 12-foot, 800-pound alligator.
Rob Neil, 35, a commercial fisherman who sells gator meat and skins to restaurants and clothing manufacturers, caught the beast while fishing the Intercostal Waterway in Bourg, near Houma, some 60 miles south of New Orleans.
The fearless gator hunter pumped 15 rifle rounds into the massive beast before bringing it aboard, the Houma Courier reported.
15 rifle shots to kill it?  Well, with a gator that big, you better make sure it is dead before you put it in the boat.
