It was about 5 ft. Not a record, but pretty big...

Was it record length in that last photo? If not I can only imagine how old a larger individual could be.

I need to ask my friend that I gave it to if it's still alive now...if so, it would be about 30 years old.

Wow! And the years only made it look more awesome. Guess it's over 27 years old by now.
