Don't worry too much about the saltwater crocs getting up to 7 metres or more in length, it's the rest of them you have to worry about...

"Sweetheart was the name given to a 5.1 metre saltwater crocodile responsible for a series of attacks on boats in Australia between 1974 and 1979. Sweetheart attacked outboard motors, dinghies, and fishing boats. In July 1979, Sweetheart was finally caught alive by a team from the Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission, but drowned while being transported when it became tangled with a log."
Quoted from Sweetheart wiki page. The story of this croc was loosely adapted for the 2007 movie 'Rogue'

More here http://www.nt.gov.au/nreta/museums/s...art/index.html
Have a look down the page at the stomach contents, specifically the first animal (known to be particularly alert and suspicious creatures here especially around waterholes and rivers - that croc was crafty ).

See this is what I'm talking about. Modern day monsters that bring fear, excitement, and good times around the camp fires. We need more rogue animals like this. They just make life better.
Speaking of crafty crocs this little sucker evaded capture for months in Hong Kong http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3793055.stm
