Best fishing story

Postby dun on Sun Nov 01, 2009 10:25 am

I finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I ran out of worms.
Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth, and frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth,
I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.
I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth.
His eyes rolled back, he went limp, I released him into the lake without incident,
And carried on my fishing with the frog.
A little later I felt a nudge on my foot.


There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

I was going to say that the snake had expensive taste, JD is a good 20% more than a good bottle of whisky here. :lol2:

Glad we don't have snakes, it would be a waste of JD.. :cowboy:

Yet another use for this fine product. But I think the snake probably would have had to bite me and pry the bottle from my cold dead fingers before I woulda shared it with him. Especially while I'm fishing.......I don't share my breakfast with anyone!

Wish we had snakes like that around here! :lol:
All we got are nasty little beavers that swim up the the hook as you reel it in and bite it off the line. Lost half of my tackle because of them. :mad:

I would rather have the JD than the frog and scrounge up a couple of worms or crickets by looking under a couple of logs close by. dun must be pretty well off.
