This will make you think twice before to hop off the boat for a swim.

That poor old gator has lived a tough life.  He's been killed a couple of times a year over the past few years in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas.

I do beieve this may be the first time he's been killed this year though  ;)

Bull!  This is my neck of the woods.  There are NO gators in Lake Wiess.

There are however, 2 or 3 Black Bears in Little River Canyon that empties into Lake Wiess.

Hey guys, is this a true story? I ask because I have never read this article before. One thing for sure that is a Monster gator. Thanks for showing. RTR!

I don't think it is true. A 5' gator in Montgomery makes the news so a 28' gator in North Alabama would be front page stuff. I found the article on a tweet from Arron Shuttles at Tidesports. True or not I thought it was interesting.

It is not true.  The largest gator ever mentioned on Swamp People was 13 feet.  The picture is a trick anyone can do with their camera.

I don't even believe that game warden is 6'5". Next time we see him all those accessories on his belt will be made out of gator.

The last time I saw this gator was when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

If that is Wiess Lake northeast of Gadseden, it is crap. I water skied many a summer there and never saw or heard a rumor of gators.
