I do. It was a half dead, already rotting trout. That same day I caught an old boot as if I was living in a cartoon. It was a bad omen for things to come. Since then, I caught more water moccasins than actual fish. I hate fishing.
damn that sucks! those snakes are sneaky, i mean i like snakes, but i wont mess with those venomous ones. my dad never catches anything. he mostly fishes with plastic lures so theres that. ive only had an easy time catching fish with live bait. specifically a time when i cought like 10 catfish. but it was a small pond so it was alot like shooting fish out of a barrel. they had no where to go
Lol, your dad is awesome. Each time I hooked a snake, we just cut the line. Not worth putting your hands near a pissed off, entangled pit viper! Won't even touch a rod nowadays, but tagging along for the bonding experience with friends and family is nice.
Edit: Oh yeah, each of those snakes were caught with live bait. "Shiners", we called 'em.
You poor thing
