What an upgrade! Is that guy fishing with a stick?

We actually did (or still do).  Lafayette reservoir used to be inundated with big non-native water snakes. My uncle had one try to eat a trout off of his stringer once.  As a kid, I used to snag them and bring them home. They were mean SOBs, tried to bite you every chance they could get.  One got so pissed it coughed up a 10" trout!  Not sure if they still reside there anymore though.
