I fished cave run lake today and I seen 8 snakes in the water and 3 of them were copperheads, two of the copperheads were within five ft of the boat. I seen the copperheads in one spot and as I was trying to get them away from my boat a lady in a runabout beached her boat right where the snakes were at and got out and walked about a hundred yards into the woods, she said she was camping there. You could not give me a thousand dollars to do that.
