MISSISSIPPI - A plucky female hunter has caught and killed a record breaking alligator measuring nearly 14ft long. Tiffany Wienke had only been hunting twice before when she snared the colossal reptile in the Mississippi river.
The record breaking reptile was reeled in after a two hour battle in the Mississippi River. The keen huntress bagged the vast beast, which weighed a staggering 49 stone, on Saturday night.
Tiffany was in a party of six which had been searching the the waters for almost a full day when they bumped into the almost 14 foot long gator at Bayou Pierre.
Clocking in at 13ft and 7/8 inch long the scaly creature topped the previous record by just one eighth of an inch.
“He ran us – literally crashed us into some trees, and bank-to-bank. He was pulling this boat full of people like it was nothing,” Tiffany told to MS News Now.
She added that to get the reptile into the boat his head had to be curled up in one corner as its tail stretched the length of the boat.
“We’re completely content with the fact that this will probably be the biggest alligator that we’ll ever catch,” Tiffany continued.
The Mississippi Department, Fisheries and Parks have encouraged hunters to continue searching the waters for more alligators despite the record-breaking find.
The gator catching blonde bombshell is content that this will probably be the biggest beast she ever snares. They confirmed the record on their Facebook page.
Writing a post, it said: “New record length male alligator on public waters taken by the hunting party of Tiffany Wienke from Vicksburg, MS. It beat the previous record by just 1/8”. The alligator measures 13′ 7 7/8″ and weighed 686 lbs with a belly girth of 59″ and tail girth of 43”. It was taken from Bayou Pierre in the SW Zone.”
