What is 15 feet, nine inches long, weighs 1,011.5 pounds
and used to reside in the Alabama River?
It's Wilcox County's own world-record Stokes Alligator, caught last August
by Mandy Stokes and her team from Thomaston. The team included
her husband, brother-in-law and his two teens. The gator is on display
at the Central Alabama Farmers Co-op in Selma through July.
Two years ago, the co-op hosted the state-record Fancher Alligator,
also caught in Wilcox County, which you can see HERE.

it's kind of sad they caught him...he must have been old...
That was a big critter.
That's one amazing gator. Think I would keep my distance even if it is a mounted display. Good sign find.
