Where was the largest alligator caught?

Answer 1

There have been multiple alligators within the 14-15 foot range caught and confirmed throughout history, mostly in Louisiana and Florida. The likely maximum size for an American alligator is just over 15 feet. The anecdotal reports of a 19 foot alligator from Louisiana in the 19th Century are erroneous. Given what we know about alligators, it is simply not possible for an alligator to grow so large (genetic limitations, etc.) It would have made no difference if it were in the present day or 100 years ago...the species is the same.
