Cole, your obvious love and appreciation of mama nature and all her creatures is so heart warming. I’m so sad for you and your family losing your lake. I hope, in the near future, you find a place that will bring you such joy. Love your videos.
@@COLE_and_JAYWhere did your lake go and why? Where are you? I have only seen this twice. Once on purpose they drained it to build a bridge and another time, a couple years ago a dam broke and flooded the city😮
Cole. you sound like me. My love for reptiles amphibians wild animals goes way up above anybody else's. As a matter of fact I challenge anyone to find someone who loves snakes and all them as much as I do. I am surprised you don't have a backpack with a mini fishing pole with you because that looks like a great place to start fishing.
This lake draining has some silver linings after all. I knew this would be exciting for you and Jay. And I’ve thought a lot about it. You and Jay and your knowledge of biology teaching your kids the processes of nature during this lake renovation will be priceless to their life experience!! Also… I wanna go! 😃 I’ll be adventuring out there after this cold front. Ain’t doin n’em sneks. 😂
I remember watching you and Jay herping in your early videos. It’s been a long time. That little frog was the cutest! The snakes I can live without, thank you very much. 😂
Bro, this is one of the many reasons that I Love y’all’s channel!! Just the knowledge and how to that you provide, is so super cool! Thank you for sharing a rad adventure!
Thank you for the lake bed tour. The fishing may have been depleted on your beloved lake, but you followed up with a great swamp video, I am not much on snakes, but that is the first mud snake I have seen, beautiful colors. I hope he survives where you place him. Great video,
Awesome! We are going to be doing a lot more dedicated herping vids moving forward. It’ll probably be slow this winter but next spring we plan to start getting after it!
Cole this video is AWESOME I really hope you make lots more like this one. Draining the lake might be a blessing from God. When one door closes another one will open. Also really like the music .THANK you Frank from montana.......
Loved it. Beautiful snakes. Cottonmouths and me not so much lol. The mud snake however gorgeous. I would love more of this and if you have fox squirrels I would love to see them. In FL they are protected. I used to see them all the time but I haven't seen 1 in about 18 years. Keep up the great work. ❤
I never knew that juvenile cotton mouths had such strikingly beautiful markings like that! So beautiful! And you're right, I would have figured it as a Copperhead, but either way, you don't mess with them! I enjoy seeing all the creatures when people go out herping, quite enjoyable to watch. And yeah, that Mud Snake looks like he's at death's door. When you let go of his upper body quickly to point to where you were going to drop him off at he head fell almost completely without hardly any strength to stop it from falling, so I think it's more than being in shed, he's weak. I hope your boost, dropping him off at the water's edge allows him to find a meal before it's entirely too late, Snakes are our friends, they keep pest species at bay Perhaps not the mud snake so much but I think they eat more than salamanders don't they? even as juveniles? Well, let's hope the salamanders don't become endangered because that will likely result in the endangerment of the Western Mud Snake too.
Hi Cole, Jay, Cyprus and Summer That little snake was not happy. So sorry about the lake. Great video. Love watching you walking around the lake. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Cole, that mud snake was beautiful! Are those kind of snakes always as calm as the one you held? I don't usually like snakes, but I don't think I would mind him. Love the colors on his snake. Fun video. Loved it.
We are going to start incorporating more dedicated herping content on the channel like we used to. It’s getting to be a bad time of year for it but we are going to do our best!
Would be cool if you had a metal detector with the lake being dry. Another person suggested that on another one of your videos. Take care and be safe. Love to you all
@@COLE_and_JAY yeah looks like. Don't get me wrong I know herping videos are something you love making. But seeing that lake being drained breaks my heart so i know it hits a little harder for you n jj. I watch every one of your videos n will support you any way i can. I consider you a friend so.. Just gotta make the best out of it for now lol. Take it easy bud
Great video. I recall my excitement 35 years ago when i caught my first and only Mud Snake. What a shame about the lake. Long wait to see it come back. Regards from a fellow herper in Florida.
Sad for me! Maybe you can take a metal detector out in some of the popular spots, see what you can find. What are they going to do there? Thanks Cole. Never saw a mud snake.
Your video is wonderful and informative. I wonder though, are you an auctioneer? You have got to be the fastest talking person I have ever heard. I find myself having to rewind some of the video to hear what you are saying on certain things. Thanks for sharing.
When i was a kid my dad and I were mushroom hunting by the creek bed. I was going around a tree and about to take a step. My dad grabbed me by my ahirt collar and pulled me back. I looked at him in a puzzled look and he then he just pointed at the base of the tree. I looked down and low, and behold there was the notorious cotton mouth coiled up and ready to tag me. My dad cant believe i can remember that moment cuz i was a young boy. Thats when i started to respect wildlife. Steve Irwin helped me understand and respect wildlife.
Cole you and your fiends and family make great video's. 👍👍Hopefully the Discovery channel finds your video content, it so interesting and informative 😊😊
❤ i wish I was there hunt around. I love doing it. I don’t like holding snakes tho. Still absolutely beautiful tho ❤I can feel your happiness ❤️as always stay safe and have loads of funnnnnn !!!!!
Hey Cole, what a coincidence. I just commented on a video the other day how I enjoy your fishing and herping action. And lookin here a herping video! We live in south central Kentucky and have seen quite a few snakes here. Don’t know what kind they are but I respect their right to survive and don’t mess with them. Keep up the fine videos!
Great job Cole! That is a lot of God’s art work. Those snakes are beautiful. Be careful playing with those little guys. Thank you for all of your hard work! Be safe!
It is so much much fun to go exploring with you. If you ever come to Phoenix I can show you where to find rattlesnakes in my nearby preserve. They like to surprise me on Mothers Day. 😂
Wow!!! They really are draining that bad boy. Where are you and your family going to fish once it's dry?? This was a great video and awesome footage!!!! Bravo
Absolutely excellent and very interesting video. Way to squeeze lemonade outta 🍋. Absolutely amazing how quickly the area reclaims itself. Mudsnake was a limp biscuit. Imho the kids could very well learn more about nature and the outdoors with the area in this state than if it was the lake. Cole,it might b deer central in the next couple yrs, idk if u can but i might consider how n where i could post a stand r 2 4 later. Just my 2bits . Great video.
I have lived in the swamps most all my 69 years of life, and there is nothing cool about a cotton mouth. They are the only snake I worry about. They don't need a reason to get pissed off and attack.
I love all of your videos but I think that these are the best videos I love learning about all the different types of wildlife there is so please keep making them thank you and god bless you
Can’t wait to see those videos but in the mean time keep the fishing videos coming I have lean so much from you guys that improved my fishing 100 precent thanks and have awesome day
Can you say Quicksand?? LOL! Releasing the mud snake. I once had a friend tell me to "Walk softer..." at 270 pounds, nobody can walk softer in hip deep mud! Great video.
Surprisingly didn’t find any lures but honestly a lot of people don’t fish this area. There are different sections of the lake where more lures will be found!
It's amazing all the new critters your finding now that the lake is being emptied I enjoyed this video a lot but in the future just you guys again no Jay please it might be to dangerous. Can't wait until the next exportation on your drying up lake. Joey
Cole, sure love the music track! Question, if I may; does that area also have timber (canebrake) rattlers and copperheads? I’m going on about seven years living down the road in Bryant and I have yet to come across or even hear about any copperheads. Thanks sir!
I haven’t seen any Timbers around here. A few copperheads but not many of them either. I usually have to go West or South to start seeing more Timbers!
I have a suggestion for you. May not exactly be in you wheelhouse. You should invest in a metal detector. You could find tons of hidden things in the mud and dirt. Maybe even a knife or two or even some lost jewelry! I can recommend the Garrett Ace 400 or the AT Pro. Just an idea.
I grew up in cotton mouth country. I've had them swim right by me while wading in lakes and creeks. They can be aggressive and I always treat them with respect
How do you keep a little boy safe living there through out his grade school years and all the coming energy and curiosity? Are you going to move for your kids?
What’s dangerous about it out here now? There’s no water to drown in and all the wildlife has followed the water away from Our residence. Once it fully dries out it will be just like walking on dirt

What a wonderful nature video, Cole! Thanks so much for all the mucking about you did to get all those great shots for us.
Awesome video! Kind of bittersweet seeing the lake bed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for that ID of the water moccasin. Glad I've never seen one! Lmao

Fantastic imagery Jake!
Great production video Thank you .for this information 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. Love you guys!
Awesome snake video. Keep it up...
Love fishing. Want nothing to do with snakes though. I'll leave that to you and Jay.
I gotcha
So happy your doing some herping again. This is one of the things that drew me to your channel.
Awesome! We are going to be doing a lot more dedicated herping vids moving forward. It’ll probably be slow this winter but next spring we plan to start getting after it!

I seen a sidewinder so fast he was hopping!

Hi Cole, Jay, Cyprus and Summer That little snake was not happy. So sorry about the lake. Great video. Love watching you walking around the lake. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Beautiful creatures colorful in so many ways. I personally only like to watch them on your show. I don’t want them in my yard. Lol
I obviously like your fishing videos but this was definitely very cool and a must do again. Great videos of the snakes.
We plan on incorporating more dedicated herping vids on the channel like we did back in the day!
Very cool! I am impressed with your knowledge of all things nature. Keep on keeping on!
Cole, that mud snake was beautiful! Are those kind of snakes always as calm as the one you held? I don't usually like snakes, but I don't think I would mind him. Love the colors on his snake. Fun video. Loved it.
Yes! Mud snakes are most of the time
Very mild tempered. Never had one attempt to bite.
I love your video guy and his close ups. Just great.
Yay! Back to the days when I started following you two! I think you were reaching in the rivers near arms family farms! Loved this video.
We are going to start incorporating more dedicated herping content on the channel like we used to. It’s getting to be a bad time of year for it but we are going to do our best!
I'd love to see you guys collab with Snake Discovery for a herping video. That'd be such a cool video.
That would be sweet!!!
Would be cool if you had a metal detector with the lake being dry. Another person suggested that on another one of your videos. Take care and be safe. Love to you all
Cole I'm so happy to see you enjoying yourself. It's a very awesome thing that you are making the best out of a bad situation. My hat's off to you bud
Thanks man! Gonna be making a bunch of herping vids out there it looks like lol

Sad for me! Maybe you can take a metal detector out in some of the popular spots, see what you can find. What are they going to do there? Thanks Cole. Never saw a mud snake.
Planning on getting a new metal detector!
Loved this video!!!
So glad to hear that!!

Nice cool thanks 😊
That mud snake was beautiful!! And so damn chill, are they all like that?
Yes! They are all normally as chill as this one. Generally a bit more active in the hand but never bitey
AWSOME video buddy
Thank you!!!
Cole, it's great to see you out herpin' again!
Thanks! We are going to try to incorporate more dedicated herping vids!!!
Like the music on new videos 😮 good thing mama knows to be a (great ) photographer, artist 🎉 hopefully things go great for ya'll 😊

Love the video.
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for going back to your roots. Great job on the very large mud snake. I was hoping to see a beaver. God bless you guys
So glad you enjoyed the vid! Really surprised we didn’t see a family of beavers out there
@@COLE_and_JAY looks like a lot of fans were missing the herping
Thank you for the video.

Thanks for the identification tips for cotton mouths
Great video
Thank you!!!
The water snake was awesome. I haven't seen many but they are gorgeous. As for cottonmouth I have seen more than I wish to say lol.
Glad to see you getting back to old school herpin love it , be careful
Will do!
You're scaring me to death with those big snakes!!😱😂
Excited for the herping!
We’re trying to bring it back to the channel more!
Wow!!! They really are draining that bad boy. Where are you and your family going to fish once it's dry?? This was a great video and awesome footage!!!! Bravo
We have a lot of places to fish but none close by nearly as good as this lake is. We’ll have to do more traveling.
I hope you all never stop making them videos. I really enjoy watching them . Thank you for making them
Yay! A herping video! Ive been waiting for this!
Edit: oh my gosh you got a Mudsnake! So jealous! Ive only ever caught one.
Every time we find a mud snake it feels like the first time! They’re awesome!
I always look for pits on the side and an arrow shape of the head plus several things.
Love the herping videos.
We love making them!!
I have always found beauty and fascination in snakes. But I am highly respectful of them,
I enjoyed your video Cole I enjoy snake hunting myself.
Thank you so much! Gonna be a lot of this now that the lake is drying up
Absolutely excellent and very interesting video.
Way to squeeze lemonade outta 🍋.

Glad you enjoyed this one! Not sure how it will all look once all the water is sucked out but it’s pretty cool looking right now!
I have lived in the swamps most all my 69 years of life, and there is nothing cool about a cotton mouth. They are the only snake I worry about. They don't need a reason to get pissed off and attack.

Snow shoes out there hahah
@@COLE_and_JAY Walk lighter! Walk lighter! LOL! That baby Cotton Mouth was beautiful. Be safe, and always remember which end bites!
BTW, I always make a lot of separate comments just help y’all out. I do talk a lot but I could just do one post. More is more!✌️😎
Didn’t find and fishing lures? Great video take Jay next time when it get a little dryer.
Surprisingly didn’t find any lures but honestly a lot of people don’t fish this area. There are different sections of the lake where more lures will be found!
Smart guy!! Snake boots! No one dropped you on your head as a baby. Good common sense 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's amazing all the new critters your finding now that the lake is being emptied I enjoyed this video a lot but in the future just you guys again no Jay please it might be to dangerous. Can't wait until the next exportation on your drying up lake. Joey
You made me laugh on Billy 🤣
Lol 😂
Did not know cottonmouths were bouyant. Will use this knowledge spotting snakes from a distance on the river!
We have so many mud snakes in Mississippi it’s wild
That’s awesome! This is about as far west as they range for us. I found a lot more when I lived in the delta region of the state!
@@COLE_and_JAYnice vid.why are they draining the lake.
That is one angry little critter! 😮🐍
He didn’t like me, but I loved him hahah
Next time bring a clear tube with the covers lids, so the camera get close up video and viewers can see clearly..
Hey, guy's cousin Frank here. Was wondering if you have any idea about the gator. Oh and Raven is still wanting to go fishing with yall.
Cole, sure love the music track! Question, if I may; does that area also have timber (canebrake) rattlers and copperheads? I’m going on about seven years living down the road in Bryant and I have yet to come across or even hear about any copperheads. Thanks sir!
I haven’t seen any Timbers around here. A few copperheads but not many of them either. I usually have to go West or South to start seeing more Timbers!
For Christmas 🎄 invest in metal detectors you'll find some good stuff Mr Billy on the lake
He needs to give the cottonmouth a kiss if he really loves it 😂
The kiss of death lol
More herping please.
Great background music😅😅😅
Thanks!!!
Takes all kind 😅
I have a suggestion for you. May not exactly be in you wheelhouse. You should invest in a metal detector. You could find tons of hidden things in the mud and dirt. Maybe even a knife or two or even some lost jewelry! I can recommend the Garrett Ace 400 or the AT Pro. Just an idea.
Definitely considering getting a new one to make some vids with! No telling what is out there in the lake!
I grew up in cotton mouth country. I've had them swim right by me while wading in lakes and creeks. They can be aggressive and I always treat them with respect
I was hoping y'all would do some videos like this.
We are planning on incorporating more dedicated herping vids to the channel like old times!
I agree that I think that Juvenile Cottonmouth is in second year
He was a small little guy haha
I'm 63 years old that's the first mud snake I ever seen In my life thanks
They’re amazing creatures!
Those mud snakes are so cool looking, should have a better name 😂. Great vid nothing beats a day in nature.
They’re an amazing species!
I love you buddy but I can’t watch this anymore!❤😮😮
Don’t stop lol
That’s small to medium.
We used to watch them eat frogs and other snakes. The ones up in northeast Texas had a thing for copperheads.
They definitely get much larger than this. This one is about the average size we run across! I found one this summer devouring a big water snake
Hi Cole! Where’s the gator? Did they catch it?
It’s out in the lake somewhere!
Lost a few pair of pliers not to far from your house. Good luck finding them! 😂
Haha! I’ll let ya know 😂
Should have a black Rapala lanyard on them lol. My wife’s family has a cabin right across from y’all!
@@COLE_and_JAYI’ve got a metal detector. Holla
How do you keep a little boy safe living there through out his grade school years and all the coming energy and curiosity? Are you going to move for your kids?
What’s dangerous about it out here now? There’s no water to drown in and all the wildlife has followed the water away from
Our residence. Once it fully dries out it will be just like walking on dirt
