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.

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.

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.

Gigantor snakes that I would NEVER want to come across...YES

Unbelievably humungously ginormous snakes...NO

[maniacmechanic]

Snakes esp. pit vipers ALLWAYS look biger than they are ( to most folk )
this one was 60 " ;

I had another that was 67'
This one was about 40"

I don't know which is scarier Maniac, you or the snake.
