Yeah I get what he's saying, but kill them all anyway.

I don't know what you mean by this. They'll often lay there in a threat posture, as seen in the video. I wouldn't call that territorial. It's just a defense mechanism. Showing their white mouths and holding their ground is an effective strategy when escape isn't easier. Or it WAS until the talking apes came along with sticks.
But they don't have territories that they defend from other animals, if that's what you're saying.

The ball of snakes thing has always been strange to me.

I've only had one moccasin strike at me or a member of my hunting group....and that's likely because he was shedding his skin and eyes glazed over...and just struck at a heat source. All other times...I only knew they were there because of the smell that was out of place.

i see dozens on my swamp lease. Ive come very very close to many of them and never had one do anything more than show me their mouth which makes for an easy target for my 9mm. There is one i cant ever get a shot on. He is 3' long and i stepped on him one day as his head was in a hole that goes under the tram road. I smashed him with a brick and he came out charging. Never could get a shot as i was running for my life 
Last season i saw a guy who was pushing the dogs get bit. Didnt break his hip boots though. He kicked his leg and it flew off.
Ive come across a high spot out of the water and have seen multiple tails slither away so in certain instances im know you can walk up on multiple cottons at once.
piroguing (kneeeling down) around the lease i came around a cypress tree pulling myself through with the boscoyos and came face to face with this guy. I never knew i could move so fast in waders in a pirogue

ya, ya, ya, bull dogs are gentle, cotton mouths are not aggressive, and you can swim with sharks even with blood in the water 
not buying the BS and all are shot dead or im outta there if they come anywhere around me

You sound tough. Lemme see your knuckles.

All I know is that I have seen one chase my Dad out of the water when we were wade fishing Caney Creek below the lake where is starts to be called Bayou Beaucoup. The snake just kept coming and he kept hitting it with his rod. Snake was winning that battle until they got on dry land.

Scary yet hilarious

My Dad told me a story how years ago he was fishing in his boat and had a stringer of fish hanging in the water. A cottonmouth came after the fish so he pulled the stringer in the boat. The cottonmouth then swam to the back of the boat and started climbing/slithering up the motor! He had to grab a paddle to beat it off the boat.
I believe the story as my Dad did not exaggerate. He's gone now but that story scared the heck out of me.

I think dude blew a few hits of reefer on that snake before he filmed it.
I love the outdoors, but those bastards can die.

Yeah- the hell they won't chase you! I had one I purposefully hooked with a crank bait, he got off and came straight at the boat fast as he could. I ran the 105 lb trolling motor wide open with him chasing me in the water. I jumped to big motor as he was trying to get into the boat. Yeah I pissed him off, and didn't have a gun (stupid) but they will for sure come after you

My dogs favorite sport when we get out to our property is running right to the pond to hunt for those stinky bastards. When he finds one he'll grab it, and start whipping it back and forth until it's dead. After getting bit on the first few, and swelling up like a balloon, he's figured out a game plan and is a snake destroyer!!!
Problem is now he'd rather do that instead of being my best catch dog!!!
