Simon Hughes, a five-year-old from Goodrich, Texas, was surprised by an 800-pound alligator but showed courage by taking it down with his .410-gauge shotgun.

In this report from the The Houston Chronicle, Simon reported yelled "holy moly" and shot the second largest alligator ever taken in the state from five feet away.

The gator did a couple rolls in died. They didn't know how large the alligator was until it was pulled out of the water.

Check out the YouTube video above.

I saw that on the Today show this morning. Lester Holt did a pretty positive interview about it.:D IMHO

Yes it does..I just can't imagine a 5 year old going toe to toe with this Hog.

I'm still struggling trying to envision that!

You would not want to go skinny dipping in their lake. Next question, will he get endorsement money from the sabot manufacturer?
