Massive 920-pound gator pulled from Alabama lake could break record.

It took six men to pull in and secure the 13-foot 6-inch alligator, according to AL.com.

The reptile was caught by friends Scott Evans, Jeff and Justin Gregg on August 14. The gator was weighed at Dixon Lumber Co., AL.com reports.

The gator, which should produce about 250 pounds of meat, “won’t go to waste,” Evans told AL.com. He is planning a Labor Day cookout.

“It was surreal, ” Evans said. “We weren’t expecting anything that big.”

Apparently, the alligator got out of the first hook. Evans and his friends continued to follow it about another 75 years and hooked it for the second time, the news organization reports.

Last year, a 15-foot, 9-inch gator weighing 1,011.5 pounds was caught in Meek Creek, a tributary of the Alabama River. About 115 pounds of that gator was a deer in the gator’s stomach, the AP reports.
