I'd really like to see a photo of the record 101 inch (8 foot-five) largest Black rat ever officially documented...

Did you ever see this ridiculous story of the so-called 15 footer? ..LMAO!!!

This guy would be great at taking out of scale, over-exaggerated fish photos too..

..NAAH!, they never exaggerate..LOL!

That is why I always kept a camera in my tackle box to take pics of my fish without holding them out 3 or 4 feet..HAHA!!. When you break out a big 3 inch thick stack of glossy photos, people's eyes pop out of their heads in amazement... I am 6'-1", so you can see it is no "minnow"...

This snook I captured in the Intracoastal Waterway in Hollywood, Florida was 1/4 inch shy of being 45 inches!

This guy was the biggest I've ever seen at 6.5 feet-very impressive in person.

He was STRONG too-had me cuffed so tight I couldn't get loose here.

That one is not only long, but it's got some good weight to it as well. The largest one I've ever caught (pictured below) was just short of six feet. It was skinny and beat up.

1 Chicago Tham s. semifasciatus
2 elaphe vulpina
1 gray tiger salamander
4 Aphonopelma hentzi
1 G rosea
1 Haplo minax
1 Brachy angustum
1 Brachy sabulosum
1 Brachy vagans
1 Cent. hentzi scorp

Yeah, a standard door is 6'8", so the snake itself was close to 6 feet since the shed skins stretch and have a length of skin between each scale as the snake pulls it off.

that was a perfect Halloween prop..LOL!!
