| Oh no!
I'm not a snake expert, but that looks like a water moccasin to me...
Not sure what I'd do in that case. Put it out of it's (my) misery, let nature do what it does and then go get my lure back in a week? |

Snake looks like it had a rough day. Probably would be best just to kill it. It's going to die either way, may aswell get your $40 lure back |

Location: Southwest PA | Poor snake... ambitious as well. I would assume he met his death, that's truly the only thing you can do in that scenario! |

| Looks like a northern water snake. They aren't poisonous, but they will try to bite you if you mess with them. I used to catch a lot of snakes when I was a kid. I would just grab it behind the head unhook it, toss it in the drink & resume fishing. |

| Im thinking he either gets side armed around the bow (so if can't fall in the boat) or as another said held under water for a good while. |

Location: SE, WI. | Ive heard of attaching whole chickens ;), but not whole snakes for meat!!! Sometimes attaching a piece of yellow nylon rope will work also:) I've never filleted one of those... JD Come-on Ice Queen....you've used leeches....right?
