While Crum has never revealed how much he makes from his appearances on the shows, Men’s Journal previously published an article about how much bounty python hunters got from bringing the giant constrictors in.
According to the article, the water district pays approved hunters a minimum wage of $8.10 per hour up to eight hours a day. Additionally, they pay the python hunters $50 per python up to four feet and $25 per foot after that.
Crum has made many impressive catches over the years, including a 16 feet, 10 inches python and another 16 feet, 11 inches python. However, the largest python he caught was 18 feet, 8 inches in length and it would have earned him $400 in bounty.
