Alabama hunters catch 1,000-pound alligator that looks like a Hollywood prop

That’s one scaly brick s—house.

A group of hunters caught a 15-foot, 1,000+ pound alligator in south Alabama early Saturday, the largest ever legally killed by a hunter in the state. According to the Associated Press, the creature was so large it broke a mechanical assembly used in the weighing process.

 

 

AL.com reported that the previous record for the largest gator ever legally killed by an Alabama hunter was 838 pounds in 2011 — which, while enormous, was still relatively “small” enough to not wreck the piece of equipment used to weigh the 1,000 pound alligator hauled in Saturday.

 

 

The gator’s awesome size prompted actress Kirstie Alley to plead for its life, but it had already gotten dead.
