A monstrous alligator was caught in South Carolina over the weekend.

Cordray's Processing and Taxidermy, which is based in Ravenel, South Carolina, posted a photo caught by Nick Gilbert on Saturday.

The alligator was 13-feet long and caught at Lake Marion, according to the post.

South Carolina's 2022 alligator hunting season started on Sept. 10 and continues through Oct. 8.

Hunters will be selected through a random drawing to participate in the season. Those selected can only harvest one alligator, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
