I had fun.
Congratulations to all the winners.
It was tough catching for most everyone in the black coffee colored water.

[Chalk]

Enjoyed it TC - You didn't tell them about the alive 5 ft Diamondback we encountered will trout fishing

[tin can]

Yep. We were drifting along, out in the middle of nowhere. I looked ahead of us and asked Chalk, "What is that floating?" We guessed a few things, and when we got closer Chalk said "It's a snake." As we got closer, sure enough, it was a rather large rattlesnake. I said "It's dead." Chalk said "It's head is above water". I said "It's dead". As we got closer the snake never moved. We drifted past the snake. It never moved. Chalk looked back and said "It's head is above water, it's alive." I said "If it were alive it would have moved. Lets go back and you'll see it's dead." We went back close to the snake and it's head and tail came up, and it started rattling. We quickly eased away.

Chalk spent the next two hours looking to make sure the snake had not followed us and climbed up on the back of the boat.
