This sucker had absolutely no fear. I was fishing this tree and the thing swam out from under my boat right by the trolling motor, and proceeded to climb into the tree right next to the boat!! He was every bit of 5 feet!! After about 30 seconds, he was invisible. Be careful out there guys.
On the bright side, I got into a few good uns. One of em still had his tux on. Water temp was 82 degrees. I guess he didnt get the memo. :biggrin Attachment 165373Attachment 165374Attachment 165375

That don't look like a banded water snake to me.

Makes the hair on my back stand up!

A good big one

Could be wrong, but looks like he was staring you down.

I will say it again. CJ don't do snakes.

It's a diamond back water snake. Harmless unless he makes you do something to yourself.

That's exactly what I thought.

The diamondback is the largest venomous snake in North America. Some reach 8 feet (2.4 meters) in length and weigh up to 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms).

These stout-bodied pit vipers generally live in the dry, pine flatwoods, sandy woodlands, and coastal scrub habitats from southern North Carolina to Florida and west to Louisiana with some found in trees on Lake Conway, Arkansas.

My oh my!

snake is a snake

I hate snakes!

If there's a snake in a tree, there's fish around that tree! Throw that jig in there!

I caught a decent Bass on it before the snake showed up and claimed ownership.

Just as I suspected. One more reason to avoid a snakey tree. It is probably holding trash fish.

I don't do snakes either. Make me nervous just looking at the pics. Nice catch
