I would freak out if that happened. Been out west in heavy grizzly country, I can handle that,but snakes would do me in.

I reeled in a bat once while night fishing and just about shat myself. A snake might tip the scale to TP time.

When I was a young man I would wade and fish in a swampy river. The fish that were caught were put on a fish stringer that was tied to a belt loop. I felt something strange pulling on my fish stringer so the stringer was lifted out of the water. A large snake was in the process of swallowing one of the red breast sunfish that was on the stringer. It was a frightening few seconds as I untied my stringer and let the snake, stringer and fish go. The snake was dark brown and looked like a Cottonmouth to me.

So did you wade fish after that day?

Have had some persistent water snakes try to get in our fish baskets with panfish in the past, but never while a fish was on the LINE. That would freak me out too.
