While fishing in a small East Texas lake a couple years ago, my Brother and I saw what we considered the largest snake we had ever witnessed in many travels across Texas for past 60 years. We assumed it must be some escaped exotic snake of some sort, it looked anywhere from 8' to 10' long with a large girth and swimming on top the water.

About 6 months ago my brother came across this picture from the same lake from a person visiting the local park.
We assume this is what we saw and still the largest we have ever encountered, and a rattler no doubt.

With a travel lane at 12+ feet.
8-10 feet is right on. At that size he crawls where he wants to crawl.

Probably eats rabbits and rats as long as he's minding his business I'd leave it alone.
