They don't grade the hide unless it has been torn up by another gator.
I tried to gaff under the bottom jaw. Less damage.

We used a pole with a treble hook attached to it. The hook was tight against the pole and we would just run it down and let it grab a hold where ever. We never had a problem with it damaging the hide, but we made sure the hook was sharp so it wouldn't take much to hold to the hide.
