Hard to tell, but the brown color leads me to believe it is not a water moccasin – I’ve never seen a brown one or a picture of a brown one. (Amateur herpetologist in my younger days.). Probably just a non-venomous water snake.

I really have a difficult time determining a water snake from a moccasin sometimes. I've killed a few that I later realized were harmless.

Most the time it’s someone posting a pic of a watersnake that people want to say it’s a moccasin. Very rare for someone to post pic of a moccasin and many people try to say its a watersnake
This is no doubt a cottonmouth/water moccasin. That triangular head is rigid, it’s not being flattened out to look like that

Ok. I change my opinion. Agkistrodon piscivorous. Loreal pits. Pit viper. New world viper. Same family as rattlesnakes and copperheads.

That's a moc. I've seen them in all shades, depending on age and habitat, from black to green to brown to typical striped pattern.
Here's a link with a pic of a brown one similar to yours: LINK

That second pic you can see it is a moc by its eyes and head shape. A respectable one at that.

I’m not snake expert, but that’s a water moccasin
At least that’s what I’ve been taught my whole life

Could he have been getting ready to shed?

Water moc but as wide as your forearm and 4 ft long?
What species of giant grass is that growing beside this monster? And/or what huge pine tree did those massively thick pine needles fall from?

Sorry dude, I didn't mean to offend your sensibilities.
Next time I'm going to kill him, stretch him out, and get his measurables just for you. In fact, just for you, I'll say he's about as long as that grass and about as big around as that pine needle.
You good with that?

Maybe it is a water moccasin but it identifies as a water snake?
