That brute will make one helluva handbag.
A fisherman in southern Louisiana made the catch of his life on Wednesday when he hauled in a 12-foot, 800-pound alligator.
Rob Neil, 35, a commercial fisherman who sells gator meat and skins to restaurants and clothing manufacturers, caught the beast while fishing the Intercostal Waterway in Bourg, near Houma, some 60 miles south of New Orleans.
