<font color="blue"> Isn't it standard practice to do that with the fish you catch? </font>

Fisherman's Prayer:

Lord, please grant that I may catch a fish so large, that when telling about it afterward, I won't have to lie. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Somebody did a pretty poor job of adding a shadow behind the snake with a computer too.

My thoughts also. holding anything 100# out on a stick would show some strain.
Personally I wouldnt hold that out on a stck much shorter than a fifty yard head start!

That is a trick. Look at the shadow on the snake, and observe no shadow on the feet of the people.

That snake is growing fast. It was cought in Clay county West Virginia about two months ago by the same three men. then it only weight 96 lb.

A few years ago, here in Pharr, TEXAS, one of the men who travels to the ranches and oil fields to do the heavy equipment tire repairs out in the western part of the county and in the eastern part of Starr county he came back with a HUGE snake. He trapped it live from from a small farming/ranching community called <font color="red">Rincon, TEXAS</font>.
This area is known for it's large rattlers and larger yet, TEXAS Indigo snakes (the indigo snake's primary food is rattlesnakes).

I never saw the live snake, but he mounted the skin on a 12' 1"X12", and it had about 8" of hide hanging off EACH END! Along the mid-section it was wider than the 1x12. It was hanging above the counter at the Hub-City Tire Store in Pharr.

Quite a conversation piece!

That, folks is a SNAKE! This snake was a local celebrity.

I'm not sure how long they are, but each of those two glass topped display cases between my wife and those chairs contains one, stretched out, mounted rattlesnake. They're in the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum in San Antonio.
