Man Goes Fishing, Catches Python

HOUSTON -- The one that didn't get away wasn't a fish at all for one Texas man -- it was a 10-foot python.

Tom Jones said he and his sons were fishing in a creek in Sugarland, Texas, which is near Houston, when the non-poisonous snake brushed across his elbow.

Jones grabbed it and tossed it into the toolbox on the back of his truck.

He thinks the python was an abandoned pet.

The man said he plans to keep it for awhile, but he may eventually sell it.

Jones said he wasn't scared. He said he once caught an 11-foot alligator in Louisiana.
