about 15-20 years back an article in the huntsville times had a photo of "stumpy" in our fav gravel pit and identified her as a 9ft female......if shes still around she could potentially be quite a bit longer but none of the ones Ive seen will be still on the bank long enough to check for the missing foot of tail that begot her name...obviously she would be a larger than normal example of a female gator so could be that the 10 footer you guy's saw the other day was her...
