I was fishing a crawfish imitation and having no luck when I spotted a cottonmouth snake with a small frog in its mouth. I thought it would be nice to try a live frog, but the cottonmouth would not give it up without some work. I managed to capture the snake in my tackle bag, and luckily I had some Elijah Craig bourbon with me. I poured some Elijah into the bag, which subdued the snake enough to get the frog and release the snake unharmed. I proceeded to try the frog out, with no real luck. However, when I turned around, the Cottonmouth approached me with some degree of anticipation, and he had two more frogs in his mouth.
All-in-all a good day on the water.
