23.1 feet would be very large, even for a salt water crock, but 13 feet for an allagator ain't no salamander, either! That's a big gator anyplace, even for Texas!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

I pulled it from a email with the web story attached... either way, whatever the real size.. he's big.. I blew up the pic and looked for some cut and paste pixeling... but I can't see any, but the pic isn't of a high enough quality to really get a detailed look.. Dak... is that second sentence in English?? NRA Life Memeber SCI Life Member Dallas Safari Life Member DRSS We Band of Bubbas | |||

I don't think the picture was doctored. I just think it is the perspective of the shot. Gator is real close to the camera. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Gentleman I dont know about doctoring the photo but I have hunted gators. Any gator over 13 feet is a really big gator. They just dont dont reach the proportions that crocs do. And yes the perspective of the camera makes a big difference. I would believe 13 foot if someone told me the story but not some ridiculous figure like 23. Mike Happiness is a warm gun | |||
