If anyone is worried about fish consuming a venomous snake, don't be. Fish, birds, and other predators (including other snakes) frequently ingest venomous snakes, fangs and all. I'm just facilitating a process that occurs on its own quite frequently.

I used to live on a pond which had some wetlands adjacent to it. every year the local water moccasins would have their babies which I would see swimming in the lake. I was worried about my kids and dogs, so I purchased 300 Large Mouth Bass fingerlings and put them in the lake. I then fed them and when they got bigger I trained them to attack snake like surface objects. I always threw and dead snakes I would find to the bass who would gang up and rip them apart and devour them. after they all got over 2-3 pounds I never saw another snake make it across the pond.

Awesome video. I appreciate the fact about you mentioning the time it took to hook the fish (3.5 hours after casting). Most videos will show casting the bait, then cut to drag being pulled out. Don't change that, it gives us a realistic idea on how long it can take. On another note, I just saw this video recommendation from KZread and I enjoyed the video. This is the first of many videos I am going to watch on your channel. I have liked and subscribed!!

I like he took note of everything going on both prior to and after casting. a lot of important stuff when fishing big rivers and streams gotta be cognizant of your surroundings. That and how to detect weather you landed a turtle or a fish. I would never wanna hook a turtle but it does happen and really sucks when it does but a lot of good insight here on how to deal with it. Just everything he covered in the video how to avoid brush piles that sort of thing. Real easy to get a line caught in a tree limb inconveniently easy but there are methods to avoid pulling a catch into a nested area I would recommend following this dude or anyone who follows him that might be able to shed some more light on how to rid yourself of these instances. I've seen it happen so many times you wanna take a ten twenty minute ordeal and turn it into an all day project that's almost a guarantee recipe for unwanted disaster. Just crazy monotony in a handbag but keep following fish channels to find out the best way to avoid getting your line caught. Real surprised at the success this guy had at running it through the murky water. Just real hard with low visibility like that but glad he was able to land it without any issues. Just real rare of anyone pulling that off just goes to show how skilled our host is at fishing certain areas. You can tell he's been doing this a longtime.

Holy cow, this was an unexpected surprise! Excellent video, well done!

Great video, Payton. I wasn't too surprised about the bite on it's side. We've all seen videos where a bigger predator fish will eat your catch while reeling it in. Whether using live minnows, blue gills, etc., when a fish is impaired and struggling, other predators in the neighborhood will move in for a bite or a meal. That applies to the bird, mammal, world, too.

Great bait ! You’ve gotten outside the box on this one 👍💯

Hey man! Just got recommended to your channel and like the idea of using challenging baits. I love the sportsmanship of using a barbless hook as well. As far as that wound, the wound looks like the perfect shape for a big turtle bite, and that blood maybe got the attention of the gar and caused him to strike, but since he was running so fast with your bait the gar “missed” and only got a few teeth in. I don’t know it’s just speculation, but turtles are one of the fish’s biggest enemies.

Great bait; never seen a snake used. I like seeing you catch a catfish for a change. Wonder what did attack it? Snapping turtle, gar or alligator would be about the only things...

At one of the Northern California reservoirs decades ago my father asked a couple of young boys what they were using for bait. “Biting worms.” They were newly-hatched rattlesnakes. Of course my father took them, then went to find a parent. On the humorous side of fishing, my father used to amuse children in campgrounds by fishing for chipmunks. Tie a slice of apple to the end of your fishing line, cast it, and slowly retrieve. Once chipmunks find it let them get a bite now and again as you retrieve. It amuses kids’ sense of the absurd.

I saw a snake swimming across the top of the water once, another small snake, maybe about 15" inches or so long, and something came up and grabbed it, I never saw it ( the snake) no more, that could have been a bass, catfish, or who knows, I never really saw the fish.
