920-pound gator captured in Alabama lake

The huge alligator recently caught in Lake Eufaula in Alabama weighed in at a whopping 920 pounds.

It took six men to pull in and secure the 13-foot 6-inch alligator, according to AL.com.

The reptile was caught by friends Scott Evans, Jeff and Justin Gregg on August 14. The gator was weighed at Dixon Lumber Co., AL.com reports.

The gator, which should produce about 250 pounds of meat, "won't go to waste," Evans told AL.com. He is planning a Labor Day cookout.

"It was surreal, " Evans said. "We weren't expecting anything that big."

Isn't Alabama one of the states with the fattest people? Maybe everything just gets fatter there.

Why was it killed? Because it managed to survive from humanity?
