6000+ views... is this the most viewed topic ever on this forum? I was somewhat suprised at the response on this one. Between the TFF Photo, Kayak and Bass sections, the report has had just under 11,000 views.  I'm glad folks are enjoying the story, it's been bringing hits to TFF and helping me book guide trips. Frankly, I couldn't be more pleased.  Thanks, everyone!

Cool photo. Hope it didn't bite the bass. The rattler was hooked through the bottom of the jaw and out the top of it's head. It's mouth was basically pinned shut once past the barb of the hook. If it had not been pinned shut, I assure you I would not be lipping the bass while the snake was still in it's mouth. Happy birthday, btw.

What an awesome experience in the wild! Thanks for sharing. As one who grew up on the Brazos, I have seen many deadly snakes in water including even a couple copperheads. They normally are only in the water as result of a dam water release. Great job and super pics. Tom

Seriously dude, I suddenly feel like I need to do something manly. I'm not about to pick up a rattler. Your goods must drag the floor!!! But still one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

It's hard to believe how much this story has been going around on the web. One of the editiors from Field & Stream Magazine got ahold of it and contacted me on Friday. We eventually worked out a deal to get my story published on the Field & Stream website. http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gal...emouth-bass-livI think it turned out pretty good even after F&S put their own spin on it and used some additional photos that I sent.

The article says that you released the snake. Having a hook through the top of the head didn't kill it?

I don't consider any freshly killed snake dead, unless the head has been removed.
The head was still intact at the time I put it back in the water.
