After an hour of trying to fit the alligator in his truck, Stephens abandoned that effort and then sent for a trailer to transport it. The big catch was just a few inches shy of setting a state record-the largest alligator ever captured in Florida was 14-foot 3 1/2 inches.
The Texas state record, and world record for the largest alligator gar caught on rod and reel is 279 lb (127 kg), taken by Bill Valverde on January 1, 1951 on the Rio Grande in Texas. Alligator gar are also quite popular among bowfishers because of their large size, trophy potential, and fighting ability.
