I went fishing this morning, but after a short time I ran out of worms.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth.
"Frogs are good bass bait" I thought to myself.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket. Just then, I realized I had a problem, how was I going to release the snake without getting bit?
So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. The snakes eyes rolled back and he went limp.
I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge at my foot.
There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth.
Life is good in the South. 😛
:good:
I hate to rain on yo parade, but I have some very low opinions of Cotton Mouths, and do not believe your story.
(Note, the above is dry humor, due to the fact that my daughter got bit lately by one of those bad boys!)

And, a PS, she is doing well... but a finger snake bite, is pretty bad, as the poisen remains concentrated for a long time in the finger. So, she has to grow back the flesh, that the poisen digested.

The writer of the original story used cottonmouth as they are commonly recognized as a water snake. Around here he would have said water moccasin. I'm not real sure about which other snakes are water snakes, but, I know those two definitely are.

I am sorry, Nate. It wasn't by any means posted to offend ya. I got it in email and thought I'd share it with the fishing guys on here. I just thought it was funny that he got the snake drunk to get frogs. 😐
I am SO Glad she is doing better. Amen!! :love:

Actually, those two are one and the same.
Angel, there was NO offense taken, I was joining in the mirth! Good one!!!
I assure you!
I have feelings made of teflon coated rubber, with a bit of rum on top!
Nate;-)
