David Hanson, 59, of Swartz, Louisiana had a group of four Oklahoma gator hunters with him the morning of Sept. 22. They headed out onto Louisiana’s Little Tensas Bayou, checking baited hooks that Hanson had set for gators the previous day. Hanson has been guiding Louisiana alligator hunters for years, but on this day his clients would take one of the biggest gators ever seen in the state.
