Great clip, what grabbed you, a big snapping turtle, nah, I presume you still have all your fingers. But yes dangerous. This just happened to me last week. I was sinking in my bog hole out back. Was up to my neck when I heard something behind me..As I turned my head, not more than 4 feet from me, was this 4 to 5ft snake chasing a damn frog. The frog lost the attempt to get away at about 3ft from my head. The snake had it in its jaws, turned and went off into the swamp with the poor frog screaming, then the panic cry stopped. Thank the Lord it was only a big Black Snake. Could very well have been a water moccasin or copperhead, as they also are in the area. But yes as you and I both know the list of critters around here that could hurt you is long. I know of at least 10 right off the top of my head in the swamp I play in.
