While Crum's catch is the biggest at the Everglades, the biggest in the larger south Florida area measured 5.4 meters.
Crum is proud of his work, saying: "When people say they are only catching one or two snakes, why are they not catching more snakes? Well we are making the difference by taking the eggs out of the eco system."
