An elderly fisherman in Thailand was shocked after pulling in his net and finding a huge python inside.<br /><br />Jon Nanthaphodech, 72, laid his net in the stream in Udon Thani, northeastern Thailand, last Friday (25/10) afternoon, when he noticed one was unusually heavy.<br /><br />The pensioner peered inside and noticed the 10ft long reptile thrashing around. He called the police who sent the rescue foundation to help.<br /><br />The veteran fisherman said: ''There were times when snakes were stuck in our fishing net but we never kill them or hurt them because we do not have any purpose to do so.<br /><br />"We usually handle them ourselves but this time it was a big one and I could not lift it by myself. I was afraid that it could hurt me after I released it so I asked the rescuers for help.<br /><br />"It's unusual to catch such a big snake so I'm planning to buy some lottery tickets to celebrate."<br /><br />The rescuer workers pulled the python from the net to before releasing it into the wild.
