Got out after mid-afternoon for a few hours. Caught an unusual combination of fish… Grass Carp, Freshwater Drum, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Green Sunfish, Shortnose Gar and Eyetail Bowfin.


This friendly serpent was apparently on a mission of peace and friendship. It made a beeline across the water to my feet. Then a few minutes later I saw it giving a dead carp a big hug, or possibly trying to give it CPR. Just in case it was the latter, I phoned 911. They refused to send help, since neither the snake nor carp had insurance.

Wow,A fantastic array of fish! As for the snake, guess he could on dream about being big enough to swallow that fish.Thanks for the report.Larry —sagefisher—
Thanks, Larry! Yeah, I have to admit a part of me wanted to see him TRY to swallow that fish. ![]()
