Paul Bedard is the star of the Animal Planet show 'Gator Boys.'

However, Bedard noted that this particular alligator didn't cause him many problems because it was relatively relaxed.

"I didn't want to pull him out of the water until he was tired, because he'll usually go into a death roll and smash himself up on the concrete or, if he's not taped, bite the concrete or something so it's always better to make him expend that energy in the water where is not going to get banged up," he said.

Final measurements of the animal revealed that it was 8 feet 8 inches long. The large reptile has now been re-homed at the Everglades Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale.
