A Mississippi crew captured the state's largest alligator, weighing 802.5 pounds. This prehistoric reptile measured an impressive 14 feet and 3 inches in length. The intense battle with the giant creature lasted for seven hours through the night. Mississippi's river basin provides ideal conditions for these large reptiles to thrive.
