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 largest American alligator ever reported was supposedly 19.8 ft (6 m) long, although there are doubts about the claim.
