I went fishing this morning, but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in its mouth. Frogs make great bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in its mouth, I grabbed it right behind the head and took the frog and put it in my bait bucket. Now comes the dilemma of how to release a pissed off cottonmouth without getting bit. Being the quick witted fella that I am, I grabbed my always handy bottle of Woodford Reserve and poured a little bourbon in its mouth. Its eyes rolled back and it went limp. I released the snake into the lake without incident and went about my business fishing, now using the frog. Not long after I felt a slight nudge on my foot. I looked down to see that damn snake again... this time he was back with two more frogs. Life is good.
