Got to see a wild snake today
I went fishing today and though I did not catch anything, I got to see a wild snake today and watch it for a while too. It was a black rat snake. It swam up from the lake onto the bank, and then it climbed up a tree. I watched it climb around on the different branch and back and forth between trees. Then it climbed down and went into the bushes. It was so cool! And as much as I wanted to catch it and take it home, I love seeing snakes in the wild and decided to leave it be

If you had caught it you wouldn't have to tell anyone u didn't catch anything. You could say you caught a 2 footer and left it at that lol

The first time I ever saw a snake in the wild was during my 6th grade "Outdoor Education" trip. We spent a few days in cabins and did a bunch of semi-outdoors stuff. On the way past the cabins someone passing us mentioned some "black hose" in front of a cabin. Everyone was looking at it, until it moved.
Turns out it was a 5 or 6ft black ratsnake. Imagine the majority of a 6th grade class running and screaming like Michael Myers was after them. I was so bummed because I only got to see its tail as it hid under a cabin. Everyone thought I was the weirdest kid ever.
That's one awesome picture though!
