Thank you, chippie!
Putangi, the biggest gator I've seen was laying on the bank and probably 12 ft long and I guessed the weight at 600 -800 lbs. It was huge. Around here, most of them you see are 5, 6, 7 footers. The 12 footer I saw wasn't in the pond I have pictured but in my brother's pond which is a couple of miles away. The gators are quite transient though and I wouldn't be surprised to see that 12 footer or a different 12 footer show up in this pond. I've seen them in the summer just walking down a dirt road looking for new waters.
