Size:  30.2 KB I hadn't had any time to fish the last couple months do to farming but I encountered this the other day. I was driving around our small lake at the farm an seen a huge snake trying to eat this fish. Needless to say my shotgun done wonders on this snake. The fish well it didn't make it either thought ya'll might want to see this.

    That looks like a big A$$ snake if that was a 2# cat. What kind and how long?

    That's neat a diamond back water snake. When I used to bank fish and keep fish on a stringer I had quiet a few try and eat my Catch.

    Glad you took that one out. He wont be eating any more fish or scaring any fishermen.

    Awesome pics. I think the snake was going to win that battle.

    Plain ole water snake... diamondback water snake, (Nerodia rhombifer). Very non-poisonous.

    I still don't like them, and saw the same thing on the fish farm here this spring. They can eat a fish that size without a problem, but it becomes a problem for them since they can't swim that great once they got a 2# fish in thier gut.

    No matter what kind of snake that was, I call all snakes "Rattlemouth Moccasins". Thank God for shotguns!!!
