Snake Plays Tug-of-War With Fisherman for Rainbow Trout

Larry Bobbit was fishing at Crooked Creek in Virginia on June 22 when a snake took a liking to one of his rainbow trout. Bobbit recorded as the snake grabbed one of his fish by the tail and tried to drag it off the line. Bobbit came out on top, though, telling Storyful: “We played tug of war for about five minutes before he decided to leave.” That wasn’t the last Bobbit saw of the snake that day. He told Storyful the snake returned a few minutes later. “I looked down as this same snake was crawling up my leg and had his head in my shorts. I fell off the rock into the water and the snake wasn’t seen for the rest of our day,” he said. Credit: Larry Bobbit via Storyful
