That was pretty good. Glad you didn't get hurt and glad it was only a black snake. I always think about reelfoot and all the tales of water moccasins hanging off of the cyprus trees.

This isn't a fishing story but a snake story....
Me and my buddy were riding 4 wheelers about 5 yrs ago, we turned to come down this chip & seal road and seen this snake streched out across the road, I just figured it was a black snake or a cow sucker so we stopped and walked up to it, we got within about 5 foot and I looked at the tale, it was about a 6 foot rattler. It never moved or rattled or anything, it didn't have a care in the world. About that time ole' boy with about 4 teeth in his head rolled up, looked at it and said stand back boys, and ran over it. It really pissed me off because it was just sunning and would have moved on it left alone.
I was star-struck because I had always heard the horror stories about rattlers attacking people, this one wasn't like that.
