A father and son sets new record by breaking the old Alabama’s state record by catching a 1621b alligator while fishing.
A father identified as Keith Dees and his son Huntley has received praises after they went on a thanksgiving fishing trip and returned with a record breaking sea monster with the creature believed to be about a 100 million years old and weighs about 1620b. The duo who are believed to be great at fishing had already gathered many redfish and lagermouth bass.
Posting about the monstrous and record breaking catch on his Facebook page, the father said made these revelations.
“At about 11:30 we decided to fish one more spot.
“I made a cast and about half way back to the boat my chatterbait just went slack.
"Reeling as fast as I could, I got it tight just before I saw a big fish swim by my trolling motor.
“Had no idea what it was until it surfaced after about 30 minutes."
Later, Keith told Outdoor Alabama, the official website of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), he thought it was just another redfish at first.
After reeling in the creature at the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Alabama, he said: We were laughing and joking about what I had.
“Then I thought it might be a big black drum."
Keith and his son spent two hours of fighting to get the alligator gar up to the boat.
The creature is a terrifying-looking freshwater fish dating back over 100million years, 35million years before the last dinosaurs went extinct.
“When he hit the boat, we cut up like two schoolgirls, like nobody is going to believe this happened,” he said.
These catch was weighed at the orange Beach Marina and weighed a whopping 1620b surpassing the old record of 111bs. Talking about the record breaking, Keith Dees revealed the following words.
““When it comes up, I knew it was big, but I didn’t even remotely know it was a state record. That never crossed my mind," he said.
