Nice catch, fish that is. Snakes on the move right now looking for a place to winter. Look out and be careful!
My favorite fish to catch! But struggle with em after the spawn! Yaw did good! Glad you got the snake before he got you!
Turned that one into a good snake
One timber rattler got 24 gills/red ear caught . Hate those slightly less than a copper head .
Nice catch.

young timber rattler . one rattle and a button .
not all that common anymore cause folks have a tendency to kill them ,just saying.
they are now protected here in Texas because of it.
not totally sure but it may be a baby canebrake .
timber rattlers are typically a bit darker in color .
I used to kill really large ones in east Texas as kid
like the big as your upper arm around 6 plus change footers .
nice fish brother congrats
Do canebrake rattlers have the rust/orange stripe down the center of the back ?Quote:

canebrakes are considered sub tropical rattlers and are a sub species of timber rattlers and yes they have that same beautiful coloration with high contrast and that orange line down the back .
they tend to grow many times larger than timber rattlers as well .
haven't seen one in many many years , but way back when I would run across a few in the swamps on my hikes to the water to ketch fish and swamp bunny hunts and so on and so forth .they always stayed far away from any population of people .
The only snake, I will kill is a Cotton Mouth. They are mean and will not run.
I dont like any of them
