Alligator hunting season is officially underway in Mississippi and a new state record has already been broken.
On Saturday, four hunters captured what the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is confirming as the longest-harvested alligator in state history.
The previous record was established in 2017 by a hunting party near Natchez. The alligator weighed 766.5 pounds and was 14 feet, 3/4 inches long.
