It's a rattle headed copper mouth.
I saw what I think was a 30 inch Cottonmouth sunning itself in a brush tree on Barkley yesterday morning. It was three or four feet up into the tree and then slithered down and away. Not 100% certain on what it was but I don't think water snakes get that high into those little trees/brush.
you'd be surprised! only saw a couple on the water this past week on KY Lake. We got so busy catching catfish where we usually catch big gills. My arms are sore!

IMHO ...
If the snake's body was mostly above water, it could well have been one ... and that long and it would have been big around as your arm
If it swam away with it's head sticking out of the water & most of it's body mostly submerged ... it's likely it was just a water snake.

Water snakes out on Green, saw a nice 5 footer on a ledge and had smaller one swim by the boat yesterday.
