Alligator hunters snare a 13ft, 52st monster in Mississippi

Haul: Beth Trammell and her hunting party held the record for the heaviest alligator for a couple of hours on Sunday
Within a few hours of alligator hunting season opening, the record for the heaviest and longest reptiles to be caught in Mississippi had been set and broken several times. The first record was set early on Sunday, with a 10ft reptile, weighing 295.3lb, which took the heaviest and longest titles for a female alligator. Just a few hours later however, first-time hunter Beth Trammell, pictured with her hunting party, helped haul in a 723.5lb male alligator. Her catch broke the state record, but only for a few hours as Dustin Bockman hauled in the 13ft long beast (above)
