This guy swam up to our boat on Sat. I thought it was a little weird. I've heard of Ralttlesnakes swimming before but I've never seen it before, until now.

KILL IT !!!!!!!

What lake did you find that snake ????????

Choke Canyon, about a mile from the 99 bridge.

did you shoot it in the faaaaaccccce.............

That's wild. Thanks for sharing the pics.

No, I figured he would make a good Gator Snack, so we left him be.

I saw one at Choke curled up in a fork in a tree just above the waterline up in Elm creek. Got to feel a little sorry for them because of the hogs on the shore and the gators in the water life is really iffy.

pretty cool, never seen one of those on the water

Dead Snakes are the best Snakes..........

This is a man that thinks like this old man does!! I saw a swimming rattler in Whitney one time down at Cedron Creek!! That sumbich wanted in my boat too, he got left in a big wash from an inline 6 Mercury!! LOL!

You see this all the time in New mexico especially around Ute or Conchas.

BBOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM

As`if dealing with the cottenmouths is not enough now rattlers!All the more reason to belive that if it is a snake in the water, it's one I dont want to be around!

See them at Breckenridge also. Hordes Creek got them also.

snakes are like a loaded gun don't mess with them and you will be fine!

I tore up a $100 rod keeping a snake out of a boat once. Well worth it though. Fished a PlanoBass tourney w/ BunkFish and pulled into a slip to retrieve my senko hung on dock slats, had a water mocassin, I think, about 1 foot from the boat under the dock on the move toward us. I think it was a mocassin, didnt stay long enough to properly identify. Once he saw the snake.. . took him darn near an hour to calm down.

Wow!!!!! We use to see them swim out of the Islands on Texoma, ever now and then.

yeah, those damn rattlers are getting pretty crafty these days, they'll do anything to swim in your boat and bite you, bastards.. i had a small water snake trying swimming towards my boat the other day but every time it got close i would throw range cubes at it, i think it eventually got full or got the point.

I would have 357 him on the spot.

Next time, throw a ribbit frog at one and swing 'em into the boat after they slam it. Fun stuff.

Damn I would be walking on water.

I dislike rats and other vermin more. Unless that snake is a threat to me or mine, I think I will let them pass. Besides like someone else already posted that dudes chances ain't just real good WITHOUT me harassing him. Gators, Hawks, Eagles, Big Bass, Alligator Gar, all would have him as the main attraction on their menu if they had half a chance.

Thanks for the picture,,, never seen a rattlesnake in the water before.

.410....bang!

I see them over in west texas alot!(they are trying to keep cool)
