Snake / Castnet Storage 101
I thought I had seen everything that could happen with a cast net, WRONG. I usually keep my cast net in my boat under my car port. I don’t have a garage to keep it in or anywhere to hang it up without advertising “FREE CASTNET” to all the passers by. Well boat went to the shop so I laid it down in the carport on top of the concrete, 7-8 feet from the nearest tree or grass area. I brought the boat home late last week and forgot to put the net back in the boat before my weekend trip to Pensacola. Yesterday we get home and I go to throw the net in the boat and I see some odd wiggling that was not the cast net line. It was an about 3-foot black racer snake.
He tangled himself beyond belief. It wiggled its way through at least 30 of the holes and there was no possible way for it to escape. Like throwing your net on top of a school of sail cats, it was the net or the snake. I chose net lucky for the stupid snake. 
It’s not over yet though, I get out the cutters and begin cussing and cutting my net bit by bit to access the ones that the snake is wrapped around. Mind you the snake twisted the net to no end and I couldn’t only cut the ones around the snake. So its about 8pm, getting dark, mosquitos are TERRORIZING me, I am cussing up a storm and as the snake becomes more loose it starts striking at me 
so I call Sam (wife) out to entertain the snake as I attempt to free it from its nest of death. About 20 minutes later I clip the last bit and the snake races toward Sam and out the gate toward freedom. Then I waltz off to the dumpster and lay my net to rest.
