I think the biggest one ive ever seen might have been a little over 4 foot that think is a freak of nature

[DonDon]

I've seen one MAYBE 5 feet surveying in the swamps. Sucker was as big around as my lower leg

Banded Water snake maybe, Biggest cottonmouth I ever saw was about 3.5 feet long and that was a monster.

Have to say that I disagree with the guy quoted in the article. I've had them come off the bank and try to get in the boat with me. I'll leave other snakes alone but every cottonmouth I encounter, I'll kill it if I get a chance.

Article says:

He hates this one got killed, and has advice for anyone who encounters one in the future.

"They don't want nothing to do with you, so leave them alone. They got a right to live too," he explained.
