Me and a buddy ran across a rattlesnake swimming the Pearl river here in MS when I was a kid. I remember that it appeared to float on the water. It's body seemed to glide on top of the water so high that it didn't appear to get good traction. It made a lot of movement for not a lot water covered. There was also some current through there and the thing was working overtime to get to the other side. It actually stopped and rested in the sand when it finally made it out of the water. The snake was over 6' long. I used to kill all snakes, then I realized I hate rats worse than snakes.:D

That's how I took it to read too Pappy. Things like this are what create Darwin award winners. Usually begins with someone yelling...."Hey ya'll watch this"!Originally Posted by crappiepappy
I don't believe Grub Meister was calling anyone here, stupid. I believe he was saying it's "stupid" to mess with a rattler BECAUSE of how dangerous they are.

If you are close enough to identify it, you are to close for me. I totaly agree with rule # 1...... Fire up the big motor and get the heck out of there!
Take your kids hunting and fishing, and you won't be hunting your kids

Fishing with my Dad years ago we had a cottonmouth drop in the boat with us. I wouldn't get back in the boat until it was dead. Dad couldn't throw it back in the water 'cause I was floating along side the boat.
I hate snakes of any kind.
Birddog,
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.
