## Caption

Alligator hunters often use harpoons to land gators that are already hooked and near the boat, but this video from a past hunt in Florida shows a quicker and much bolder approach.

The man in the clip, Andrew Wooten, is seen running after a huge alligator on a sandbar with a harpoon in his hand. Wooten catches up with the 13-plus-foot gator, throws his spear into its back, and then grabs ahold of the attached rope as the alligator takes off swimming. We sat down with Florida hunter Kristy Grant to get the full backstory behind the viral hunt she recorded of her hunting partner.
