What's the biggest up-arrow notation number you can spell with 64 bits?

`9↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑9` seems like a reasonable guess (barring encoding cheats/trickery like @masfuerte commented!)

Edit: I've misread the above comment and my number is is 64 bytes (significantly more than 64 bits. The largest 64 bit number through my approach would be `9↑↑↑↑↑↑9`, which is significantly smaller.
