thought i would share this with you guys. saw this guy on a trip to the lake one day...enjoy!!

thats awesome. great find.

Excellent picture !!!!!!!!!!!

Woah hoooo! I hate snakes...what kind of a snake is that btw?

What kind of fish is that? I cant really tell from that angle. Great pic, thanks for sharing.

Young catfish? That's my guess. As for the snake, water snake?

I prefer my catfish deep fried.

catfish and copperhead snake..as best we can tell some say brown water snake but when we looked it up most of the pics we saw resembled a copper head..

Could be wrong, but I think it is a Northern Water Snake. They come in many different colors and will catch fish better than most people

yep could be.. i looked it up and very similar...

Looks too big for a copperhead, looks close to 5 ft. long right?

The fish looks like a catfish of some sort.  The snake looks like a Colubrid of some sort, probably a corn snake, since their patterning is highly variable.  Its not a copperhead, that's for sure, head shape is all wrong for a pit viper.

just thought i'd share this

Fully agree.  The head is the wrong shape for a Copperhead.

The fish looks like it could be a catfish like previously mentioned.  Or it may be a young carp as well.

definitely a catfish. all carp have scales right?

Cool pic.
