A local fisherman is getting a lot of recognition over a picture he took out on the water.
The photo shows a snake with a catfish in its mouth in an Iowa lake.
Colin Wehrle from Moline took the photo and posted it to Reddit and the Iowa DNR Facebook page on Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Just one day later the picture had been shared more than 1,000 times.
Wehrle said it was a sight he had never seen before.
"We were fishing and we saw a snake start coming in across the surface and I saw something thrashing in its mouth and we thought it was a mouse," Wehrle said. "So we trolled back to see what it was and we saw it was a catfish. So I had my GoPro on a GoPole and I pointed it toward it, got about 140 photos of the snake before it slithered out of the water with its catfish back into the bushes."
