Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water. What a fish story.

Man.................................... it's been a long time coming too! The old HOOK AND LINE record was 297 lbs from the late 50s, but that fish was longer @ 9.5' if memory serves me well.

That gator looked fat and lazy. Probably put up a fight equal to only a 250 pound gator.
