Why do this? If you want a snake why not just buy one. Then at least you would know what your bringing home. It appears to be a water snake and that bass you have in with it is to big.
Have you checked your local laws? Some places do not allow you to take certain animals out of the wild or require a permit. Plus that bass could earn you a ticket in some circumstances as well.
Im not a fan of removing animals from the wild unless they are going to be a food source. Making them pets is just a bad idea in my mind. There are way to many options now days to buy snakes. You can find almost anything or something at any price point. You could even find water snakes and you would be less likely of having a snake with parasites that could spread to others once your collection grows.
Also many times with wild animals it can be difficult to get them the thrive in captivity. Many do not eat and if kept to long and then released incorrectly they will end up dying.
