Anyone see the news report of the huge gator seen in Lakeland Fl? Looks like a dinosaur not a gator!

Wow, that beast does look more like a dinasour than a gator!

That's a big boy! Almost looks like he is constipated by the way he moves. 

played a golf course down there that had one like that

 

it actually made national news

 

you can look it up Myakka Pines golf course gator

Gators are not like fish where the female carries the most weight. All the big gators are male. 

Not just fish. Alot of animals ! Good to know though

I wonder how fast a gator that size can move in the water? Apparently fast enough to not miss any meals.

Fast like a southern girl picking up a dropped mcnugget.

Anybody got a feel for the overall length of that big gator. I'm guessing 16 feet in length.

That is about what I estimated it to be at judging by the width of the opening.

The news reports here say 13-14', it's not really that big.

 

Looks like sauce piquante to me

A hundred bucks to the first guy to kiss it.......or his widow.

We had one down the river that was supposedly 16 ft." old tail light " He was named that because his eyes were like wide like tail lights and glowing red in the light.

An old gator trapper had several run ins with him but never got him.

There are several newspaper articles in the Florida times union about it.

The trapper was Bubba Stratton.

What a beauty, love seeing big alligators like that one in the places I fish. I have a spot where I have seen several Alligators in excess of 12 feet, with one of them that has to be well over 14 feet. Best thing about this place is that it is illegal to hunt the Alligators, so they can live their lives in peace.

holy crap

While their prey dies in pieces. 

Looks like a faked video too me... if it is real then it's a monster!

The camera angle makes the alligator look bigger, but that alligator is big one without a doubt. There are places in South Florida where you can see +10 footers almost every day, with a couple of them +12 feet.
