As a Florida girl I was raised on the water. My dad had my brother, sister and I on the boat every weekend. We would tube, knee board, and swim. I remember always being fearful of alligator. Every time my brother was behind the boat on his knee board- always checking behind to make sure he did not fall or that my dad didn’t steer the boat too close to the swampy areas...

The big news story in the sportsmen world this week? Alabama mother of two Mandy Stokes bagging a thousand plus pound alligator out of the Alabama River.  The gator is big enough it may snag the Mandy the World Record and we think this is awesome! Previous World Record gator contenders have been pulled from Texas and Arkansas but this is the first of its size from Alabama. Check out pictures and more about Mandy and her gator here.
