10 Foot Gator???

We'll find out tomorrow if he really is a full 10 foot when we take him out to skin him.
Well, finally, this year me and Skippy bagged a gator I'm happy enough with to post on KZbin. The deep cut out of the Skiff measures 6 foot 7 inches and his tail went another 2 foot over the one side, and his nose was a good foot under the bait well, so, we're hopin' like hell he's close to 10 foot total. It was warm tonight and after messin' around trying to get another gator in the boat after this one, we decided to hurry and get this feller on ice as soon as we got home. We'll try again tomorrow for another one so we can make life easy on ourselves and skin 'um both at the same time, then we'll measure this one the right way.
The first clip was taken when the commotion calmed down a little. Skippy had snagged him with a treble hook on a spinning rod set up, got his head up so I could bang stick and stop him from thrashing around, then I'm shooting video of Skippy holding on to him while I drive the boat to shore to try and muscle the gator on the boat. The next clip is after we got him on the boat, the clip after that is back home talking with the neighbors, and the final clip is the gator curled up in a big ole fish-house ice tub and we're about to pour 250 pounds of ice over him.......it pays to know fisherman who have access to unlimited supplies of ice. I cut out the audio on the first 2 clips because it was all just ear piercing wind noise and you couldn't hear what we were saying anyway.
Anyway, time for bed, got work early tomorrow then back on the water to try and fill these gator tags.
I'll make another video tomorrow showing a proper measurement, and my fat ass laying next to him to show how big he really is.
