Trophy-hunting dad and teen daughter pose with massive 14ft alligator they slaughtered after stalking 700lb beast for six hours
A DAD who is adamant that hunting and fishing are as vital as “God and country” has slaughtered a record-breaking 14ft-long alligator.
A five-strong crew – including Derrick, his daughter, pal Kirk Nozaki and two people from Lethal Guide Services – spotted the big gator “by a lily pad” in Lake Eufaula, in Quitman County.Their lengthy hunt wasn’t easy as their feisty quarry barrel-rolled on them, and would alternatively surface for about 10 seconds and then become submerged for 45 minutes.Derrick told the publication that the team cast a big treble hook, attached to a heavy-duty fishing rod, and they “just stayed at it”.
They then “shot him with a crossbow through the tail” to mark him with a buoy in “case he broke off and we could tell where he went”.
