If you guys are alligator hunters how much does say a 10 foot alligator weigh thats the main thing that gets me on that show. Just have a hard time grasping it when the narrator says they caught a 9 footer that weighs 600lbs I mean think about it if they caught 10 gators and say all together they weighed 3500lbs does anyone believe you could carry that weight on a aluminum boat on a single axle trailer?
They show 8 ft. Alligators caught on the show and the narrator calls him godzilla and says he weighs 1000 lbs.
Gators are individually different. Some are very round and heavy. Some are long and skinny. A 10 footer can weigh 400 lbs and another 10
footer can weigh 600 lbs. The ones caught back in the cypress swamps away from public canals and bayous tend to be huge. I'll post some pics of my younger days and some of the gators we caught if I can find them. As far as hauling them on a single axle trailer, those are not standard axles. Anyone who does any type of commercial fishing,crawfishing,alligator fishing, etc. has beefed up axles and springs.
