    The snake was definitely a cottonmouth/ water moccasin. The big bluegill are what we call GA bull hybrids. They can get up to the 3.5 pound range

I'd exercise a bit more caution when fishing and meandering about south Georgia swamp waters. Lots of creatures in and around those types of waters that can bite a hell of a lot worse than the bugs and mosquitos!!! Good luck.

    Cotton Mouth / Water Moccasin.
    Diamond shaped head is a giveaway your looking at a pit viper.
    Note how it swims with the upper half of its body above the waterline.
    Georgia has a good population of "Water Snakes" which look very similar to Moccasins , however they tend to swim with their body under the water and their head lifted above it.

    Nice ifshing there as usual. The snake was an Eastern Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin. You can tell 'em by the fact that their bodies are mostly out of the water, and diamond shaped heads. Good thing you were not down there in waders. LOL!! Nevertheless, he would have checked you out, but not swam up to you and bit you.
