A python hunter made a record-setting catch earlier this week when he caught a 17-foot, 5-inch female Burmese python while hunting in Miami-Dade County, South Florida Water Management District said.
Kyle Penniston, of Homestead, made the solo catch Monday night while hunting on SFWMD land for the Python Elimination Program, SFWMD said.
The 17-foot, 5-inch snake weighed in at 120 pounds, and it is the third caught as part of the program that measured more than 17 feet.
