Snake in the boat!

Fish after fish then a snake in the boat-have you ever had this happen, I had one swim up to the boat before, this was the first time for me. I wanted to pick it up but nooooooo way.

I am not sure what is worse, a snake or that can of boiled peanuts!

We had this guy come in our boat on the st croix. The kid and I love snakes tho. The small guy was as friendly as possible

I’d swim to shore and sell the boat “as is”.

Once upon a time about 30 years ago, I was bank fishing and pulled my stringer up to put on another big Red Ear. Hanging off the end of the stringer was a great big water moccasin chowing down on half a Red Ear in his mouth. When I pulled him up out of the water I’m not sure which one of us was the most surprised. Soon as I dropped that stringer he was able to extricate himself off the fish and swam off like greased lightning as I quickly departed the other direction. I changed spots right after that. Come to think of it, I haven’t been back to that same spot since.
