Yeah Terry, I agree whole-heartedly about all the nonsense about snake size exaggeration..LMAO!

I remember that silly bunch of pics with the cops in it from a long time ago. Like you said, the snake was approx. 5 feet at BEST!. It's VERY easy to see the false perception with the distances of size references in those photos. Not to even mention the snake would have folded the dude's flimsy aluminum catch-pole in half, and not just slightly bent it if it was even anything CLOSE to 7-8 feet..HAHAA!!

That's a REALLY nice one you are holding there too man. No trick photography either!..
