17" Catfish On Doughbait And A Surprise Guest At Bethany Lakes This Evening!

Went back again with another variation of the Homemade Doughbait to test.  Caught more Catfish with the largest going 17" in size.  Had a late start, so ended up fishing in the dark.  While fishing noticed several Water Snakes chasing fish close to shore.

While unhooking the 17" Catfish, looked up and saw a four foot Water Snake had worked its way out of the water and was about 2 feet away from me eyeing the Catfish.  Surprise, surprise, surprise.... First time had one actually come out of the water for a fish!
