I know of two in Choke that are at least 19 feet. Saw one chowing on a huge doe that came down for a drink of water and ended up being breakfast. That gator grabbed that deer right before we came around the point and it was in the killing stage. That was a sight to see!!

I mean pushing longest ever in the US.

The current record is a 14.8-foot, 880-pound alligator taken near Lufkin, Texas, in 2008. Owens, who is also a certified scorer for Safari Club International, measured the gator for the official world record application.

Yeah, no one has ever caught or killed an American gator over 15ft. The world record was just under 15ft in Alabama.
But there's a bunch of fishermen in here and you all know how much we exaggerate.

I've only seen 2 on Fork that were around 12 ft. in length. One was in Double in Birch. Which I havent seen him in years. And the other is back in Little Caney in the same area this one is in. Seen a bunch of 5 to 7 ft. ones though.
