In this on July 5, 2019, photo, provided by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks, Brandon Griggs, Marvin Griggs, Paul Edwards, Taylor Criddle, Hunter Griggs, and James Boyd pose in Madison, Miss., with a state record-tying alligator they caught earlier that day. The 10-foot-long female tied the record for longest female alligator caught in public waters, and the photo was taken after the record was certified. In all, hunters harvested 918 alligators in public waters this year, 1a53 more than last year, according to Ricky Flynt of the state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.
