I can tell you that if it was near me, it would be a dead snake.

No doubt that is a water moccasin aka cotton mouth.  I have seen them enough to know, he is very very lucky.  I have caught a few snakes in my time, yea I know, makes hubby real happy, but that's one I would never mess with.  They are extremely fast....

PS if you are ever fishing with a top lure, and one is following, don't keep reeling to your jon-boat.  Don't ask me how I know.. lol

But seriously, that is a very dangerous snake, because they are very aggressive, more so than a rattler.

cotton mouths are the only snake I've ever seen CHASE a human or large animal.

I'd say the only thing to do with that one is to make like you are twirling a lasso above your head and fling it by the head as far away from you as you can,,,,preferrably towards a neighbor that doesn't like ATVs ;-)

I heard someone caught a snake this weekend, I don't think it was a cotton mouth though.  Atleast not at first.  I'm sure it wouldn't approved of being twirled over head though. Shocked  Might give a hernia trying to lift the thing too.
