Here is the biggest one I ever caught, and yes I did release him alive.

Way cool Helo!!! WheN I was a teenager and later I was (and still am) an amateur herpetologist. That is a beautiful specimen and very large, so he is probably the ophidian version of ol' Grumpy. If you happen to kill one around 30" I have a brown Tom Mix hat that is crying out for a copperhead hat band! I'll send you the glycerin!
