Country Fishing Joke

country fishing joke

I went fishing this morning, but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot..... It was that snake, with two more frogs.

Balsam, now you make me feel like an idiot!! I killed 2 cottonmouths in the last two weeks around the house. Had no idea they were bringing me bait!!! feel like a real dunce!

LOL...Blue, thats funny. Kind of glad we don't have any of them up here, supposedly the timber rattler has been found in certain southern parts of the state, but even then, pretty rare...and thats just fine with me...
