Well Capitan, you’ve forced me to admit to my lack of fishing skills. I didn’t actually release that one. In fact, I didn’t land it or even hook it or any of the many others we saw. I don’t remember how long or how much it weighed. However, I do recall that we estimated that the largest one we saw on that trip was about 12 feet long. That would be about 144 inches and maybe 750 pounds. That probably puts me in the lead for the biggest gator in this thread. Maybe someone else will come up with a bigger one.

What kind of tackle do you use on those? :)"
I just used the tackle I had on hand, an iPhone. If you get serious about these, I’d suggest something with a telephoto lens. I like to give these guys their space.
