727-pound alligator: Dustin Bockman Caught alligator in Mississippi River (Video)


A 727-pound alligator was caught by a hunter in the Mississippi River near the Big Black River in Claiborne County, on Sunday, September 1, 2013.

The record-breaking alligator was snatched by Dustin Bockman, a UPS driver from Vicksburg. His alligator catch was one of several records established during the first weekend of the Alligator Hunting season in Mississippi.

Earlier in the day, Beth Trammell set the first record with a 13-foot-5.5-inch, 723.5-pound alligator catch. Her record did not last long as Bockman snare a 13-foot-4.5-inch, 727-pound alligator.

According to Bockman, the alligator "broke all the lines we could put in him. Finally [we] put a snare on him and got him up high enough and put a shot on him. All in all probably took us four and a half hours to catch him from the first time we saw him."
