Watching an old episode - someone said "That's a tagger!" What if it wasn't a tagger?

It's big enough to tag. They have to tag each gator they kill, just like a deer.

And if it's not big enough to tag, do they pull the hook out and release it like you would a trout?


I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

And what if it isn't big enough - what becomes of it?

They cut the string and leave the hook to rust. The gator most of the time swallows the hook and its hooked in it's belly. Pulling it out would kill it.

Having the hook in its stomach is no big deal?

No. Their stomach acids dissolve it quickly.

The bigger the bait, the bigger the gator.

They don't catch "small" gators
I've seen them boat gators that couldn't have been more than 3 foot long....on the show.
Gators smaller that +/- 3 foot don't wander out into open water. They'd be gobbled up by the big'uns! Just like fish small fry, they stay hidden in cover until they get enough size to stand a chance.
Mama gators are extremely protective of their nests and hatchlings, but big daddy gators love to eat little baby gators.

Lots of Gator Meat Purveyors sell Alligator Ribs and Sausage. It’s all quite good if you just don’t overcook it.
