Deadly Snakes for Bait Catch Monster Fish

It seems even venomous snakes have to keep an eye out for big, predatory fish! If you throw something dead into the water, eventually you might just hook a river monster!

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.

"don't need to go super far" *proceeds to cast three times as far as I've ever cast*

Awesome video though! Thank you for sharing that experience. That was crazy, that bite taken out of him.

This whole thing is impressive. Pretty extreme fishing my friend! Nice catch!

[Fishin-Girl]

Wow, that’s a beautiful catfish. I would never have thought to use a dead snake to fish with. Great content, thanks!

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.

Alligator Snapping turtle 🐢 did the damage

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 YouTube 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!!

Could've been whatever you felt snagged and got unsnagged when you first started reeling in. Very interesting, great video!

[choritzo]

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.

Why wait so long to set the hook, hell as soon as he was peeling your drag/clicker the line was tight ... could have poped him then, theres no garuntee he would have had the hook in his mouth when you tried to set the hook when you did either... I guess theres a better chance it has the hook in after letting him run for 100 yards?

Why am i watching a guy fishing with asuch a bait at 2:30 am ...😅

[michaelflores]

That’s awesome man!!! I had to take out a rattlesnake a few years ago and used him as bait too, caught my biggest catfish of the year between my family 🫡

[SSHitMan]

A little turtle pops up behind you @2:18

[robertmceuen]

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...

I often go hunting in the forest and also hunt snakes to eat with a glass of wine.

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

[nickmac]

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.
