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.

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.
"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.
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.

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?
Just a dumb move .why would you let a fish take your bait in and out of who knows what on a river ..that was a moronic move .didn't look very rudimentary protocol fishing 101 to me
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 🫡
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...
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.
What an interesting bait to catch such a nice catfish. I don't remember the last time you did a big catfish video so this was awesome to see especially coming from the special new spot that holds monsters. Continue doing the weird bait videos cause they are very cool.
Had a pond in my backyard when lived in Lake Co., Fl. I had a small Moccasin hit my Carolina rig, got hooked, and when reeling it in a bass nailed him LOL
Hey Payton, I really enjoyed watching your video! I have been watching your videos a lot more and I'd love to set a hook on a giant gar some day as I've seen you catch in some of your other videos. Great video again and awesome catfish for sure! Thanks for sharing your videos!
@joshsozarkadventures1506 I believe it was lock 46 in Louisiana on the Red River. We hung into one over 8' an hour in broke the line while wrapped around a limb
I did notice that rod looks real nice. Yeah man clearly there is no telling what lurks in that river it keeps looking scarier with that dark water its just a matter of time before you hook into some even bigger monsters just be carful / the dead snake was dangerous but I'm sure it will get some views
I caught a pretty good largemouth Bass on a small dead garter snake before, about a 12" snake, had it hooked through the head and using it like a plastic worm, kinda, anyways yeah it was about a 4-5 lb largemouth, in a small creek no less. I saw a snake swimming across the top of the water once, another small snake, maybe about 15" inches or so long, and something came up and grabbed it, I never saw it ( the snake) no more, that could have been a bass, catfish, or who knows, I never really saw the fish.
Anyone else notice the little visitor that he had just after he started talking? It popped up to say hello and disappeared just as fast. Can or has anyone else found him yet? 👍 for yes and 👎🏻 for no.
At one of the Northern California reservoirs decades ago my father asked a couple of young boys what they were using for bait. “Biting worms.” They were newly-hatched rattlesnakes. Of course my father took them, then went to find a parent. On the humorous side of fishing, my father used to amuse children in campgrounds by fishing for chipmunks. Tie a slice of apple to the end of your fishing line, cast it, and slowly retrieve. Once chipmunks find it let them get a bite now and again as you retrieve. It amuses kids’ sense of the absurd.
@@smelltheglove2038 I really don’t like violent war movies. Tho i do love Tom Hanks, so i absolutely had to watch Shaving Ryans Privates. It changed my fishing techniques for life! Its how we all learn tho right
Any chance it could have been a freshwater lamp ray? I know they exist but not sure if any in those waters. Wound was probably more oblong than circular but that was my first thought when you pulled him out.
Turtles can do a lot of damage they have a brain like projection on their upper mandible and jaws as strong as vise grips. If you've seen "Paradise Lost:The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, about the " West Memphis Three," you know that the sheriff mistook the wounds on the victims as something delivered by "Satanists." It turns out the bites were from turtles living in the creek that the boy's bodies were dumped in! 😮
@@Tyrone_Bone Dude, you're very wrong. I'm sure it looked alive on your phone screen but I found that snake very dead five days before I filmed this video and kept it, very dead, for five days. It was very close to being too rotten to fish with. Why on Earth, in all seriousness, do you think looking at a few seconds of a video on your phone gives you more info about what I was doing that I have? Serious question. Why do some of you do this?
In Oklahoma, Bass fishing, my red plastic worm went very light, and I soon noticed a water mocassin swim above the water, with worm across it's mouth. If I had set the hook, I would have hooked it. But hooking a venomous, live snake, was not my idea of fun for releasing it. (using it as bait never entered my mind). Snake soon dropped my worm and I moved on 50 feet away from there.
@@hydraxc2478nothing is wrong with killing a snake and using it for bait because karma is real even for wildlife .. the snake got wat it deserves because it kills so many other species
I wonder if the current was just taking your line out quickly instead of the fish. My first thought when you said there was alot of slack and then a snag. Ive done the same. Awesome video man!!!
@@wildlifefishingshow agreed. Snakes get a bad wrap but they’re important parts of the ecosystem. Most people get bit trying to remove or kill them. Best to let them be, within reason.
Sweet video awesome we've spent our entire life outdoors hunting fishing from a very young age, north west GA, Alabama and we have often wandered will larger fish eat venomous snakes like good size cotton mouths without be affected by the venom the toxins? Guess the video answer's our question?
Unfortunately, I don't think Penn makes reliable baitfeeders, or that's what I'd have (although I'd still open the spool after the run started as even the lightest setting on a baitfeeder gives resistance). Every penn baitfeeder I've ever owned broke while fishing. Honestly, I wish Daiwa would make a BG with a baitfeeder.
@@wildlifefishingshow I normally use chicken liver with pancake syrup, vanilla extract, and garlic powder. Though Gummy worms are amazing at Pay Lakes.
When I was in the Army and stationed in Alabama, a buddy and I would go fishing when we were both off-duty. We ran into local guys who used baby copperheads for bass bait. They called them, "bitin' worms" and they were very effective. They wore snake-proof gloves to handle them.
WILDLIFE! What's going on man! Man that giant blue cat nailed that snake what! Yeah man that's crazy that something bit that fish on the way in like that. Never know about those type of waters on the real. Another great episode man I I oved it ! Keep on getting down!
I caught a bunch of giant 2-3" american bullfrog tadpoles one year & tried using them as bait but they need air every so ofter so the drown on a heavy jig on the river. Caught a few big smallies on em though.
Awesome video. Thank you for respecting our fish. Not many use barbless hooks despite being so much easier on the fish. Crazy that catfish ate that giant snake. That’s why is was so damn big. Huge belly. Hope he survived his bite. My guess was a smaller gator also. Never seen the feeding them so much line technique.
That was a big beautiful cat fish. I never heard a fish make a sound like that but I've never caught cat fish. My best memories are fishing with my grandfather but he paat when I just turned 13. I only wish with him on the otherside in dreams now. Why do you use venemus snakes I stead of regular nonvenemus? Do they smell more?

It's a vicious world out there for sure
Whatever it was it won’t have any trouble finding him once he got back in the water…
Could've been whatever you felt snagged and got unsnagged when you first started reeling in. Very interesting, great video!
Possible but I'm pretty certain the line went over the top of a tree branch for just a moment before coming free, and that was the snag.
yah tbh if a fish ripped its skin off on a branch in woulda fought like hell for a good second immediately after
I was thinking the same
Bro wacky rigged a snake 😂

i trye this last week but only used a piece of the snake and caught a 15lb catfish, works pretty well for me
It's why I don't like blues - it's like reeling in a turtle. Love the video though. Great job.
The line was wrapped around it several times that is why it was doing tight circles also when pulling it around the snag it got impaled by the snag
