Got this from a friend who lives up there and knows the guy.
Seriously some big snakes in the woods here in Florida.
I dont want to meet up with the either.
Wonder if they ate it.

:wow:

[Ando]

I believe it.

This one was a 9 foot 1" 97lb. rattler found somewhere in Georgia.

Pic no worky Al. :(

Yeah, Im not afraid of snakes... but I sure tread a careful path when Im out taking pics in the bush. LOTS of Eastern Diamondbacks in our area.

There's no way that snake weighs 97 lbs. How the hell could he hold a 97 lb snake at chest level with a snake pincer? That's a lot of weight to hold out on a stick. 100 lbs is two and a half bags of top soil.

QFT. Thats a 15-20 lb. snake. Hes using the old fishermans trick of holding it at arms length to look larger than life. :rolleyes:

[Thordic]

If you lined up 100 men, I bet only 10-20 could even lift 100lbs off the ground at the end of a stick like that.

[behemoth]

As I saw that pic, I scrolled down to hit post and you know? Thor beat me to it.

No flippin' way.

Hey as long as Hank gets to actually kill things and theres blood and
guts and stuff it will sell !
The real rubber meets the road Florida redneck stuff that very few get to see.
I know some of those good ole boys that live in places like Ona, Immokalee
and Myakka City.
Places like that when you say the towns names people say "where" ?

:shooting:

[leloup]

Have you seen the show Swamp People? It is pretty cool to see a totally different sub culture in the US...oh and there are lots of gator killin' and blood and guts :D I think the show could work.

I watched it. History doesn't spend much money on creative ideas, do they? It's the same format as Deadliest Catch and Axemen.

I can't see it sticking. It's just not that interesting. How many times can you watch a guy shoot an alligator? It doesn't even seem particularly dangerous. The alligator can't really defend itself against a guy in a boat. Now, if they were hunting saltwater crocodiles, you might have me.

The only worse show is American Pickers. The skinny guy is so damn annoying.

Pawn Stars, on the other hand, is pretty cool. I just like seeing some of the random stuff they get.

[Ando]

But the skinny guys wife is HOT!!!

Don't shoot the messenger on the snake thing I posted. I had seen that a few months ago. Took me a little while to find it again. I can see what Warwitch was talking about when he said "old fishermans trick"...

I don't like the Swamp People show either.

[Warwitch]

Pawn Stars, on the other hand, is pretty cool. I just like seeing some of the random stuff they get.


lol, the wife and I love this show. Its like a modern version of Antiques Roadshow (which we are also addicted to.) But again, the Pawn Stars show gets uber-redundant too.

"Is a great item. Id love to have it in my shop. But only if I can get it at the right price"

Pretty sure that sums up the dialog in each episode. Oh, and somebody has to crack on Chum Lee. :rolleyes:

[Thordic]

Yeah, the characters are like watered-down versions of the Teutels.

I watch it for the items. They get some REALLY cool stuff in that store.

As for American Pickers, I haven't seen his wife. If she isn't in the show often enough for me to have noticed her by now, she isn't in the show enough to save it.

[Ando]

She's in every episode pretty much. She's the girl that they're always talking to at their place of business.

Big Bone. There are a few episodes where she looks kind of rough but I wouldn't call her fat in the least. I know she popped out a kid around when they filmed the first episodes so...Could be baby fat :rolleyes:

[wimag]

thats his wife ? I thought it was just the chick that worked at the office.
She is hot though

[Ando]

No...Never mind. It seemed like they were in one of their episodes. I think they were screwing around like usual.

I've only seen about 5-6 shows. She's still a smoker :D

[Warwitch]

She looks like a chick I would have targeted in art class. :rolleyes:

[Thordic]

You gotta think that on the show, thats how she looks AFTER professional makeup.

She's not a hag by any means, but nothing you couldn't pick up at your average bar.
