Catch and cook: Giant alligator

Catching a trophy alligator in the coastal marshes of Louisiana is an intense, high-stakes adventure steeped in deep-rooted southern tradition. Hunters navigate bayous and shallow grass flats using heavy-duty hook-and-line setups baited to entice massive, territorial bull gators that often stretch past twelve feet and weigh several hundred pounds.
