Woah dude. They aren't indestructible. They shoot them there to kill the animal quickly and without damaging much of the skin, which is where all the $ is made.
"He broke all the lines we could put in him. Finally put a snare on him and got him up high enough and put a shot on him." Not like they simply attacked him with a crossbow tho.
One of the guys in the boat would have had the line in his hands fighting with the gator to tire it out so they could get it to the surface. The only spot on a gator that is penetrable is about the size of a quarter and is on the top of their head, between the ears.
The head and back are tough but certainly not impenetrable, and the sides are much softer still. Even in the video there was an arrow in the back of the gator.
It was probably much like this, I doubt he had to really fight and hold it with hands, but rather tied it to something. Gators arent all that aggressive. Not to say they can't be of course, but still.

The reason people say that things taste like chicken is because it's something that can be compared with the meat. If you tell people that crocodile tastes like crocodile people will think you're an asshole and not let you marry their first born.
I don't think it tastes like chicken at all, it's so much more chewy. That being said if I could eat fried croc/alligator everyday of the year I'd do it.
