Giant 13-Foot Alligator Caught During Georgia’s Thrilling Annual Hunt
Georgia’s 2025 alligator hunting season produced several huge catches, including a 13-foot-5-inch giant from Lake Eufaula and a 568-pound, 12-foot-4-inch gator from the Ocmulgee River. Strict rules mandate handheld harvest methods, minimum lengths (48–96 inches by zone), and 24-hour reporting. These impressive trophies reflect a thriving population of over 225,000 alligators and confirm the success of Georgia’s conservation and sustainable-harvest program.
