My fishing story:

I  went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms.
 
Then I saw a cottonmouth snake with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good  bass bait. 

Knowing the  snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head,
took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.  

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of
Jack Daniels and poured a little  whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released
him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the  frog.

A little later,  I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that snake, with two more frogs.
