Almost twenty years ago I came across a canebrake rattlesnake that had been hit by a car that was 7 feet 2 inches long and had 14 rattles and I thought that was a big snake.
I came across this post on FaceBook where a father and son near Midway, Texas were hunting wild hogs from a blind when this snake poked his head in. The son shot and killed it.
It is supposedly 9' 6" long with 22 rattles. Now I am not particularly afraid of snakes but if I came across this monster I would hope I either had plenty of running room or a weapon other than a hoe to deal with it. This snake is big enough to make a belt for a turner with the largest turning muscle......
