Made me quit fishing fresh water. A while back , me and my Dad were fishing Sacalait and we were close to a Cypress tree , and my Dad stood up in the front of the boat and I was in the back, well a damn water moccasin fell

, luckily in the middle of the boat , it was a open skiff. He had the paddle and he hit that thing a million times.I hurried and grabbed it, and threw it overboard.Phew! that's when I said never again.

lol talk about stink! them things got a musk gland that puts out a putrid smell. you usually can smell them before you see 'em, but not all the time.
