Life can be so dangerous sometimes!
I was just trying to save some fish that were going die when their puddle dried up, and I almost got bit by a venomous snake in the process! Thankfully, we all walked away from the encounter, but man was this a close one!*
WATCH OUT FOR DANGER VIDEO
OH NO.... HERE IT GOES
With the recent drop in water level at Bull Shoals Lake, a lot of fish are getting stranded, so when we find them we like to help them continue their lives by getting them back into the real water. Just the other day we found this puddle full of Carp, Largemouth Bass, Green Sunfish, Bluegills, Bullheads, and Channel Catfish. What I did not realize is that danger was just around the corner...
Or should I say "just under the rock?" I was actually pulling fish out from under this rock, but I was not alone. Under that rock was a large Cottonmouth!
Once I moved the rock slightly to get to more fish the large snake slithered out! Boy was I surprised! Thankfully, it never bit me! As a friendly reminder, be careful out there and remain aware of your surroundings!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Shoot, that's scary. Glad you didn't get bit. Do you have a snake bit kit or something that you keep in your car? What do you do if you get bit?
That's really nice of you to stop and help the little fish. Who knows, the fish you save could be ones that spawn many more fish in the future.

Thank God you are not bitten by a snake. Your response is fast and so you can handle it.
For some people a snake is a scary or disgusting animal. Hearing stories about snakes are usually going to creep. When they see the snake they will panic and may run screaming for fear of being bitten.
And if we are calm then we will be able to overcome them.
If you see a snake and want to catch it, grab a branched wood. Make this wooden branch form the capital Y letter. Use the branch to push the snake near the head. Then hold it carefully and watch its tail. Do not let the tail wrap around the hand because it can be stronger and you will release the head even become bitten by it.
It's good if you also recognize the type of snake is venomous or not, so it can avoid the danger of snakes and know how to respond if there are snakes around us. Characteristics of venomous snakes include:
What if we were bitten by a poisonous snake?
do not panic, stay away from snakes and blood flow to the heart by tying a bitten hand or foot over a bite wound. Clean the wound and contact your doctor immediately for intensive care.
Thank you @papa-pepper

One thing that got me stunned was the manner of calm and doggedness you exemplified. How I wish I could emulate this.
