Was out fishing with my 13 year old son today. He came from the back of the boat to the front in a hurry. Lol

Ah just a friendly watersnake. But they can scare the hell out of you.

He can be friendly on someone else's boat.

I tried to flip him back in the water with a 7'6" rod, but he didn't want any part of it. Finally gave him a bad headache with a boat paddle. He decided he'd be better off in the water.
Which lake? I assume it was a power plant lake, huh? Wouldn't think snakes would still be out in non-heated lakes.

We were on Lake o the Pines. I thought my son was crazy when he said there was a smoke back there. December 12th with water temps 54-56 deg. That's unbelievable, I guess he just wanted to get warm on the motor.

Fished a nite tourny on LBJ and one of the other teams reeled in a "fish". Reached down to bring it in the boat and surprise, surprise, big Jake! Thank you Lord no one was bit or injured. BTW, I didn't even place

I had the same thing happen on Cypress Springs a couple of years ago. I broke a rod trying to pry and push it off my motor. It's harder than I would have thought to get a snake out of the boat when he doesn't want to go.

I would've soiled my underpants so bad that I woulda left a trail all the way back to the truck/trailer. Yes, that woulda made me go home, literally and permanently!

After that, for some strange reason he wanted to fish in the front of the boat with me.

I was backseating in a night tourney a few years ago on Lake Austin and I felt something rub against my foot. Startled me and I stepped back and right on top of about a 4 foot water snake. He didn't like that and whipped around and bit me right on the shin. I damn near tackled my partner off the front of the boat I moved so fast. He's a 6'6 former Marine who I then learned is deathly afraid of snakes. He was shrieking like a little girl and I was yelling about the damn thing biting me. It must of been a sight to behold.
Get a Skeeter... They will not want to ride Merry Christmas....

I agree. I carry a .410 Snakecharmer in the rod box. I would have had hydraulic fluid spraying everywhere.

I was working on my "new to me" boat replacing all the pumps with my head deep in the rear compartment when I found a snake skin. I seriously debated about selling the boat because I don't do snakes.

I don't know why but these snake threads always make me laugh!! Kinda like when someone eats a hot pepper and can't handle it, it is just funny!
BTW I am not a huge snake fan myself. I prefer they stay in their territory and I stay in mine. My boat is my territory even if it is floating in his!
I would of saved tossed him in the live well and saved him so i could put him in a live well at the ramp. hahaha people hate snakes and it cracks me up.

Yup. I've never understood the fear of snakes. If you learn which are venomous, which there are only 4 of in Texas, there's really nothing to fear.

Since it was a water snake should feel right at home in a Ranger
