Quite a rattlesnake

Someone emailed this pic to me with the following information, so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's a nice looking snake to say the least! I shudder to think what happened to it after the pic was taken

Near Oktaha , Oklahoma
The reason for snake boots during dove season.....
Caught near Oktaha . Just under 8ft and 89lbs.

the snake looks oversized becuase it is about 4 feet closer to the camera than the person. 8ft and 89 pounds, even the stats prove it wrong. Take an 8 ft boa, yellow anaconda, burmese, rock pythons, look at any of them at 8ft and see if they are close to even 50. I have had some very obese boas and several of the above species, even the fatest piglet and rabbit eaters barely get to 35-40 lbs at 8 ft.

too bad the snake had to die for the redneck to get in the picture with it

Not to mention that the location keeps changes in relation to the photo.

Yeah, there are about a dozen of these rattlesnake pics that float around and pop up from year to year. The best/most annoying is the aluminum culvert with about 25 westerns in it that I keep getting set to me labelled "look what they found at the jacksonville florida airport construction site".

A similiar photo was just around with a guy and a gaboon viper that he was back in the photo so the gaboon's head looked almost as big as his.

Truth

I am not sure of the weight but the snake measured 6'-7". The man that is in the pic works with the son of my boss. He was going to release it but I never heard if he did or not.
