I was watching some videos of this guy on the net and he is quite something. There is stuff of him messing around with all sorts of dangerous animals, like some south american version of Irwin. This time he caught a very impressive anaconda that he claims, by his measurements, to be 8 meters long (26+ feet). Wow!!

I don’t know. I’m having a hard time believe’n that was 26ft. She was huge no doubt but 26ft. That would be the largest cought in over 10years. What do you think?

Yeah, i see your point. She carries some serious girth and a huge head, though. An this time i actually see someone with a tape and not just guessing on the length. I say it COULD be true and if so, that is the one of the largest snakes ever known to exist.

Ya I know. Huge head and girth. But I haven’t been able to find anything else on it. None the less a very impressive snake.

Once you get that big, measurement gets somewhat trivial lol. 26 ft...sure, why not. It certainly looked to be the length of at least 4 of the guys there. So figure roughly 6 ft each.

It looks to me like the cameraman did everything possible to avoid getting a clean and continuous shot of the snake. In some shots he might have been shooting the same parts of the snake twice. When they had the snake stretched out they didn’t get a good measurement or a good film.

I’m not buying this one. The terrain looks like the Llanos in Argentina and the biggest ’condas captured there are on about 16-feet.

the retic one was proven false, when the guys got there to measure it the man was amazed by how much it shrunk, I think it even was on wild boys and they made fun of the dude for being like only 21ft.
