Wrong
This cotton mouth coiled back and sprung out of the water and on to the boat

I think people have experience with regular water snakes and moccasins
And only think they’ve experienced a cotton mouth

Was in Chawalka park with a girl in that semi-deep park.
Was hugged up with blondie when I noticed one crossing the creek behind me.
Blondie noticed I was no longer as relaxed as before so I had to tell her.
She freaked out after that but it was worth it. Glad it did not bite me when it swam by too.

Moccasins, like most snakes, don't attack.
The hell they don’t! I intentionally snagged a cottonmouth with a crankbait and after he got off, he charged faster than a 105lb trolling motor could go, and made it into the back of the boat. I had to jump in the big motor and wash him back out and he was still hauling arse my direction.

A cottonmouth normally doesn’t charge or chase you but they can. They are known to investigate things in their area. Say if you’re in a canoe and making noise they might come over to see what’s up. That doesn’t mean they’re going to bite you but they could if they felt threatened. As the only semi-aquatic pit viper in the world they don’t really give a frick about much in the water.
10/10 believable story to me.

You are a pussy.
And I’ve had a cottonmouth come after me before.

The frick they don’t. Idiot. A cottonmouth will come at your arse in a heartbeat.

You, too, are wrong. A cottonmouth will come after you just as likely as he is to retreat. Had them do either plenty of times.

Yep. I had one ruin a bow hunt one day. Walking beside a large ditch to get to my tree, blow over stump to the right. I walk right on by, and heard a rustle/rattle. Damn moccasin was right on the other side of the stump, and shook his tail at me as I passed. I just kept walking, hung my stand, and got in the tree. Started thinking about the mile walk back to my truck, if that fricker had bitten me. Probably wouldn’t have made it to the hospital. Sat there about 3 hours and said frick it. I’m not going to sit here and think about dying. Got my shite, and went home. frick a venomous snake.

I’m still confused why you couldn’t hit them with the paddle. I don’t even know what other options you had.

Plenty of stupid in this thread

We found one washed up on the beach. It took 3 shrimp boats to get him off.

Pull out your GLOCK 9 and blast the shite out of them.

I've read most of the comments.
The simple answer as only one person mentioned is you're a man (allegedly) and have a paddle.
Use it.
I can def. tell you aren't a baw.

If they were “charging” you, they wouldn’t have turned away when they had you right where they supposedly wanted you.
Damnnnn brah, so snakes have legit cognitive skills? So they only follow through on their aggression when they, "have you where they want you?" Only when the "cat is in the bag." eh?
quote:
Snakes don’t charge people.
This is absolutely false.
Snakes in and among themselves don't charge, but bedding/nesting female cottonmouths- and only when they're bedding/nesting- absolutely defend their territory. The dog, aka coyote/fox heightens the cottonmouth's defense mechanisms.
I have an unbroken fifty thousand acre forest behind my home that I grew up in and just recently moved back to, and on top of that, I have worked/work and played/ play in the woods my whole life (and probably always will). I say that to qualify my 2 cent's worth on this subject, but when I really, really began to learn about the tendencies of venomous snakes- especially big, mature female cottonmouths- was when I went off the deep end hunting for arrowheads back several years ago.
I grew up, live in, and work in the woods: Woods that house very large female cottonmouths
And while I don't know much a about financial accounting, coding, or how to kiss a baby like a politician, I do know this: A female cottonmouth and/or her mate will defend their tiny kingdom to the point where they decide it's time to turn face. She/they will absolutely make an attempt to bluff you into turning around. Even though I've never had one follow through (because I "chitted-and-gitted,") I have no doubt that the OP could have very well had this happen to him- especially with a dog present.
If I haven't had a big female cottonmouth (or two) who was located atop a blowdown in a deep pool at the inside bend of a creek bed isolated by miles from any other water source charge me and my dog during peak nesting season,
then I'll kiss your country white arse.

Just read all five pages of this thread. The OT is slipping.
