The other day while wading past some reeds in a local dam I saw a small snake (unknown specie) about 40cm long and probably as thick as my pinky, it swimmed right towardfs my... So I moved away... Yet it turned and swimmed towards my again, so I panicked a bit and wacked it with my elbe so that changed his mind... To swim on top of the water...
It dove under the water but still swam towards me...
Man have you ever seen a fly fisherman with a stripping basket (thanks shoprite) run a 100m sprint in knee high water?
Anyway elbe has caught a couple of bass since then no problem!
PS: this was more a smack than a wack - rod accelerated fast from about 50cm above snake.
