PRESCOTT, Ark. -- A record alligator has been bagged in the first of two weekends of the 2012 Arkansas hunt.
Mike Cottingham, of Prescott, snared a gator measuring 13 feet, three inches in the bottoms of Millwood Lake on Saturday night. The reptile weighed 1,380 pounds.
The Arkansas Game & Fish Commission (AGFC) says the alligator is the biggest one caught since the annual legal harvesting season began in 2007.
This weekend is the last chance for alligator hunters (must have legal permits) to try and bring in one of the reptiles.
The AGFC says the alligator was probably about 30 years old.

"Didn’t know Ted turner was a gator hunter." He caught this one. It's rumored it used to live in a muddy river near Hanoi.

If you ever watched Swamp People on Direct TV, they follow swamp people during the 30 day alligator season, about 5 different boats from different area's of the swamp...saw a few land 12 footers. Its interesting watching. They have to buy tags from the state and each gator is tagged after caught, but if you don't use up all your tags, your penalized...they never have said how much the tags cost, but the ones on the show usually have at least 300 tags, some have more...

Arkansa, huh.
Could be a paralegal of the old Rose Law Firm, Hillery's old outfit.
