I think what you are asking is different from the answers posted so far.Sometimes we catch gators around home by taking a heavy rod and real with a large treble hook (snatch hook) and a sinker "1oz." We see the gator out in the water and throw the hook over him. Slowly retrieve the line until the hook is almost on him.The gator will feel it moving on his back so we are very careful not to move to quickly.As soon as the gator turns to the side or starts going under we snatch the line and set the hook in his back.The gators hide is thick so it doesn't really hurt him it only hold him. Now the gator will go to the bottom and stay there until he feel the danger has past so if you tug on the line a little he will stay down.Gators breath air just like us so he will have to come up to get air but as long as he feels in danger he won't come up.After a few minutes without enough air you can drag him in or you can go out in a boat and pull him up.We usually use tape to secure his mouth and legs so he can't fight or get away.We have only done this with gators up to six feet long and they were really hard to handle.

A baited hook is the simplest method and is used in Louisiana as a general harvest method, and in Florida to remove nuisance alligators. Hooks are rigged by embedding a large fish hook (12/0 forged) in bait (nutria, fish, beef lungs, and chicken are popular), and suspended from a tree limb or pole about 2 feet (0.6 m) above the surface of the water. The bait should be set closer to the water to catch smaller alligators. To increase success, baited hooks should be set in the evening and left overnight during the primary feeding time of alligators. Once swallowed, the hook lodges in the alligator’s stomach and the alligator is retrieved with the attached rope. This method can kill or otherwise injure alligators, and is not suitable for alligators that are to be translocated.

Forget that!!! How are you thinking of removing the hook? Use a laso device to rope a gater, more humane.
