The New State Record for Arkansas! Measuring in at 13’ 11.5” and weighing 800lbs. I’ve got to give a shoutout to everyone that played a huge part in me being able to harvest such a Giant! God for blessing me with the opportunity, my wife for being so supportive of me being gone these last 2 weekends, and all my family and friends for the help along the way! I can’t stop smiling!!!
Travis Bearden said he, his father, brother, and best friend harvested the 800-pound gator at Lake Merrisach, just south of Gillett around 11 p.m.
