Im guessing this was not a venemous snake? I know some common water snakes look like copperheads and vice versa. Yea, it was non venomous. I want to major in marine biology, but herpetology is a close second. If fishing is really slow, I can often be found looking for snakes and lizards, especially in florida.

Just the other day my friend cast his lure to see a bass dart from right under his dock and follow the lure through the air. Once it hit the water, the bass was on it and hooked. This proves that they have excellent vision.

Might they be Jelly worms? If not you might want to check them out because they sound similar. http://www.mannsbait.com/searchitems.asp?Searchfield=Jelly%20Worm&SC=Yes

I really dont have any fears of animals. At school I would tie carpenter bees to strings and have a "bee on a leash". On sunday I chased and caught a 3 foot watersnake (with my hands) while I was fishing on the bank. I saw about 7 total, and I was really excited!

Thanks Flechero, that is so simple but so easy to ooverlook. I just bookmarked that link.

It got an 8.5 in the review, and I guess I could see the fish catching ability. Let us know how it goes Kayl.

The Bassmaster by Shaw Grigsby Bassmaster magazine The Bassmaster book library (not quite sure of the name but a few hundred pages worth of fishing material.) In-Fisherman LMB Big Bass Magic by Doug Hannon I'm looking to read Ike's book, Sowbelly, and now I'll have to look up Homer Circle's book.

Thats insane! Good find!

There goes Farmer Chris holding one of his many prized hogs! Nice one!

My friend has caught a few on it, so keep trying... You should pick up a bass or 2 soon

Amen! That is my ultimate goal in life...

Good catch man! I have been meaning to do more fly fishing but have not gotten around to it yet...

Looks/Sounds like a good concept! Let us know how it works out!

Fire and Ice and red shad for me!

Last week I was fishing when I saw a bed with a nice bass on it. It looked about 4-5 pounds. I spent about 15 minutes throwing a red kinami palm tree at them but the bass was not very interested in it, only ocasionally mouthing it and leaving it alone. I switched to a orange and yellow BPS stik-o and the another bass, about the same size returned to the bed to try to eat it. After a few casts one of them got mad and hammered it, so I hammered it back and brought it ashore. It went roughly 4.5 pounds on my scale. Judging by the belly, it was a spawned out female that could have gone 5 pounds had it been full of eggs.

I went paintballing yesterday for 4 hours with some friends. Some of the shots did hurt but that is what makes it so fun. I do have a small cut on my head from one nasty shot that blurred my vision for about 5-10 seconds. I have slept all day today because of how intense some of the matches were, but it was sooo much fun. My best shot was mean but had me cracking up on the field. All I saw was a guy's hopper and hand sticking above a bunker pretty far away, so I lined up a single shot and nailed his hand. I saw it disapear and heard him scream "AWW F***!". I couldn help but laugh out loud. I apologized to him though so i'm not that mean... I think :-/...

I love snakes, and I look forward to seeing them on the water. Even if they were threatening me, I would simply remove them from my boat. I have been bitten by a non venomous watersnake like the one pictured and it really doesnt even hurt. A small ***** and a little blood, all you need to do is wash it well with soapy water and put a band-aid on it. Unless you know for a fact that the snake is non venomous, you may want to take a trip to the hospital just in case. In my case, I caught it and checked for fangs. If yo are not crazy/stupid like me and following/picking up the snakes to admire them, they will leave you alone.

Control yourself avid, this is a family site! You must be a lonely man clicking links like that... I'm 18 and I dont even do that lol! Awesome video though. Looked like the poor gator started to drown

Some sort of water snake, my friend is bothering me to leave so i am not going to look it up at the moment.

100 tons of explosives in the desert. You see the shockwave quickly come at the camera then BOOM!

Of course yes please

I've never heard of that but it may be worth a try. See what works. If you do try it, then hook the bluegill through both lips. Otherwise you could risk killing the bait by forcing too much water into its gills

Check your state's fishing regulations before fishing with live blegill. In florida I know you are allowed to use them only if you yourself caught them. That said, I typically use bluegill on my grandmother's lake in florida where there are no shiners around. I use bluegill between 3-5 inches most of the time, and I either hook them through both lips or through the back near the dorsal fin. I use a large float with 2-3 feet of line beneath it.

I have tried searching under "snake bites" "natural motion lures" "snake lure(s)" "doug hannon snake" and a few more with minimal results. If you have any successful keywords to use, that'd be great, otherwise more reviews from you guys would be great.

Has anybody tried Doug Hannon's snake lures? The videos do show some quality bass being caught, but I would like a second opinion from you guys. How long do they last? Do different colors have different tails, I swear I saw that somewhere... Basically, is it worth shelling out 40-80 dollars for the snakes?
