People always say they aren’t aggressive and won’t charge. But my first experience with one up close was with me, my paw paw, and my great uncle who had ptsd fishing on Caddo Lake in a flat bottom boat. The snake dropped out a tree, into the water, then climbed up the transom and got into the boat. I was sitting in between my paw paw and my great uncle in the back who flipped out and nearly rocked us out of the boat. My uncle managed to keep the snake at bay, but we had nothing to kill it with cause it was wrapped around the oar. So paw paw trolled us back to shore to get something to hit it with, when some ol baws pulled up beside us and whacked it with a spent shell casing from a tank one of them had on hand.
