Bigger the Gator, Tougher the Girl

            Michelle Jackson, of Lakeland, caught this 13' 1" alligator at Lake Hancock. Jackson, shown with her husband, Shane, is the granddaughter of A.J. and Joan Barfield, of Eastpoint. "They both get permits and go every year," said grandmother. "They told me it tried to pull her overboard." Photo courtesy of Joan Barfield.
