Snake Fishing

[XtremeAngler]

Sorry for another freshwater report, but this story is worth the tell.

If you ever want to catch a 5.5 foot water snake at Lake Bryan, here's what you do:

Catch a couple crappie and throw em on the stringer. Let the stringer just sit. After an hour, pull it up and you are guaranteed to have a giant water snake on. At least thats what happened to me and my cousin haha. That big monster ATE one of the crappie on the stringer. The fish was at least a foot inside the snake. The stringer was still attached to the swallowed fish thus trapping the snake, so the predator quickly became the prey. Pulled him up and laid his head out on a rock while my cousin bashed it in with a stick. Drug him up on the bank and had a photo shoot. This story probably wouldn't be believeable without pictures. Won't forget this trip for a LONG time.

I think its just a water snake. Too light colored for a cottonmouth. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Seems like a docile one ... the ones I'm skeered of are the water moccasin, especially night fishing on the banks. These critters are FAST and FEARLESS.

Was catfishing on Lake Georgetown and that place came alive one night. To make a long story short, I showed up back at the pickup truck where by buds were drinking beer ... with half a fishing rod, all cut up from fallin' down, and muddy wet. LOL, they had a laugh.

"Hey you go down yonder inside that point and see for yo'self!"

I popped a beer and here come three big ole boys running like their hair was on fire. "GET IN THE TRUCK NOW." Took off about 90 MPH, too. Nope, don't like them kinda snakes, no way, musta been a hundred of 'em.

hahaha. Not to mention those things will hang out in the trees above you along the creeks. How would you like one of them things to fall on your shoulders?

Big snake. I don't care if it's the harmless kind.... if I saw it in the wild, I wouldn't hang around and try to figure that out.

Kill every last one of those worthless things. I hate a snake.
