Is that a Western Diamondback? I’ve never seen one of those in the wild. There is some monster Easterns down south here, I’ve seen a couple pushing 6 feet. I’ve seen some decent sized Cottonmouths in Florida …I even caught a juvenile on my fishing pole. He honestly scared me, them youngins will almost always give a full wet bite as they haven’t learned how to control their venom yet. I also caught a 3 foot baby gator on a top water frog at 7:00am on one of the Lake Course water hazards at Orange Lake Country Club. The guy mowing the grass came over and gave me hand. The little gator was surprisingly strong and quick. He was chirping for mama bear. He absolutely shredded my Berkeley foam frog in chartreuse. But we got the hook out and let the little guy live another day. Florida is like a different freaking country with all the crazy snakes and gators and birds and bugs and old folks and tourists and weirdos and Mickey Mouse and that French guy Ponce de León and his youthful fountain and Wikiwatchee Springs and that cave diver rescue guy Edd Sorensen who is a fucking ANIMAL. Listen to one of his stories…it’ll give you the heebieejeebs
