Nerodia sipedon
That's good he missed the hook. Who would have thought you'd be catching a snake on your fishing lure? Pretty little snake.
The snake was definitely hungry. When he bit the lure he stayed attached until we pulled him up to land to retain the lure and every time we would cast back out there he was attacking the lure. Luckily he missed the hook.
