Second prize winners for "LONGEST PYTHON" in their categories are PRO: Amy Siewe for a 10-foot, 7-inch python. #PythonBowl #snake pic.twitter.com/agPWi3GGKU — MyFWC (@MyFWC) January 25, 2020One contestant, Tom Rahill, caught both the longest, a beast of 12 feet, 7.3 inches, and the heaviest, a 62-pounder. Florida holds the contest every year in an effort to put the squeeze on the non-venomous constrictor.
