Members OneLung Posted April 2, 2012 Members Posted April 2, 2012 I went fishing this morning, but after a short time I ran out of bait. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a cottonmouth swimming along with a frog in his mouth. "Frogs are good bass bait" I thought to myself. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket. Just then, I realized I had a problem, how was I going to release the snake without getting bit? So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. The snakes eyes rolled back and he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog. A little later, I felt a nudge at my foot. There was that same snake back again with two more frogs in his mouth.

Addicted to Creeks Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Haha fantastic Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed." It is best to weigh them while they are in the water. The only really large one I ever caught got away with my leader when I first struck him. He weighed ten pounds. —Charles Dudley Warner
