Don't forget the Jack Daniels if you go fishing over the holiday.



I finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I ran out of worms.


Then I saw a cottonmouth with a small frog in his mouth, and frogs are good bass bait.



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.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.

I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth.

His eyes rolled back, he went limp, I released him into the lake without incident,
And carried on my fishing with the frog.



A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same snake, with two frogs in his mouth.
