and a lot of handbags and boots and luggage.
It was his first ever alligator hunt, but lawyer Levi McCathern made sure his name will go into the record books.
With a single shot he killed what is believed to be one of the biggest ever alligators ever found in the America - a monster weighing almost 900lbs and 14 feet long.
McCathern said he was inspired by the TV show 'Swamp People' to try and track down a monster gator.
He applied for special permission to hunt the gator on private land and it took him and his guide two days to stalk the giant reptile in the Trinity River, near Crockett in east Texas.
He killed the beast with a single shot to the brain from a distance of 100 yards, and admits it was his finest ever kill.

The Dallas-based lawyer said he plans to have the gator mounted and placed on a wall in his office where other hunting trophies adorn the walls.
