If the boat driver could have flown would have left the boat as he yelled, "He bite you, you die"! What makes this interesting is that the green mamba, which this is, does not inhabit estuarys because they do not take to salt water. This critter was either under the tarp in the boat before we left and decided to unass the boat or it dropped out of a tree as we passed underneath. Either way it would not have been a good "catch of the day"[/COLOR]!
What did you do with it?
Hmmmm I never ate barracuda, might have to try that someday.
