A
19-year-old Florida man sums up catching an 800 pound alligator saying,
“Holy alligator.” Tim Stroh’s family runs a taxidermy store in Hobe
Sound, Florida, but this kind of a catch is a first. The family went out
as a team in search of a humungous alligator which was rumored to be in
the St. Lucie River. And they found it. At 12 feet, 3-inches and 800
pounds, each of the family members tried their hand at trying to reel in
the beast when Tim Stroh used a measly little bass fishing pole to
finish the job the others couldn’t. Tim then hit the alligator with a
“bang stick,” a .44-caliber gun shell on a stick, when he got him close
enough to the boat. It took 4 people to carry the beast to shore. The
family has several plans to use up all the resources of the alligator,
from key chains, to lamps to mounting it’s head on Tim’s wall.
