Looks like the biggest dead snake to me. I guess the chicken farmer finally found out where his chickens have been disappearing to.......LOL NGE

Re: THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

I think someone posted that photo before, except it said that they found it out in California or something (I believe?)...
And I believe someone found something about it on Snopes. I can't look it up right now because I'm in the middle of several things already. Still a terrifying pic, 'cause I HATE snakes...

That's a strong man with a strong pole if that's 97 lbs on the end of it.

This snake story is a lot like my wife's biscuits. Really hard to swallow.

Re: THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

They ain't no way, bud. The very biggest rattler I heard of that was confirmed was about 30 pounds, and I thought that was a stretch. We did have stories about rattlers 10 or 12 feet long that would come up out of the weeds and chase you, but I never saw them. The same pic is on Molly's post about snakes. That old boy from south Africa came up with it. Cool pic and a big old snake anyway.

Re: THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

I agree it is a nice big snake.

But nowhere near the size and dimensions as described.
The handle on that snake stick is about 4 feet long,
using the principle a lot of fishermen use...
The closer to the camera the fish is the bigger he looks in reference to you as you hold it.
I really wonder how big it actually is.

Re: THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

Snoops says it is real and found in Tx. but just not 97 lbs. I don't want any around me any size I'm nor scared but, I will let thme have their ground I'll go elsewhere!

Re: THEY GROW 'EM BIG IN GEORGIA

Even if it was 97 pounds it still would'nt be a record.....My ex wife was 147 and a snake in da grass!

Try holding out 97 lbs from the hip also. Not. I once helped get an anaconda back into a cage in a traveling snake exhibit.They were closed and the guy let me in to help. I was stupid and picked up the snake about 8 feet from its head.I got on my knees and got him on my shoulder and stood up. The snake raised his head off the floor and the weight drove me to the floor. I am no weakling mind you but they are pure muscle. We finally got him in but I learned a lot that day..LOL
That is one big snake shame to kill it though. I have seen big rattlers that have lost their fangs maybe it was old age,,maybe not.
