Great pics, Skip. Always enjoys yours. What percentage of flushes would you say give you a shot?

I've had cottonmouths act as docile as lambs, and as aggressive as anything you could imagine. Herpetologists boo-hoo any claims of aggressiveness with them. Call it what you will, but when I was a kid I had a big one try his best to climb in the boat with me while I frantically emptied a Nylon 66 at him. Never hit him .......... 14 times. I was a touch excited. He finally made it to the other end of the boat where Grandaddy swiftly brought his cypress boat paddle to bear edgewise upon the swimming moccasin, who also politely, ceased to try to enter said boat. End of moccasin. Back to fishing.

I remember Grandaddy saying he had broken several good boat paddle on moccasin's backs.
