SUMMARY: Today was a fun day for fishing enthusiasts as the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks declared it a free fishing day, allowing fishing without a license in public waters. Many fishermen took advantage of this, with Ponto Lake being a popular spot. One attendee mentioned having no luck last week but hoped to catch more fish today. Tomorrow, however, a fishing license will be required, obtainable through the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.

SUMMARY: Good evening, I'm Craig Ford. Emily Leonard has the evening off. Thanks for joining us for WTV 9 News at 6. A woman in Monroe County encountered an unexpected visitor during her morning commute. Jennifer Adams found a large snake hitching a ride on her car on Smithville Road near Hatley. Initially mistaking it for a man on a horse, Adams was horrified to realize it was a snake emerging from under her hood. She believes the snake was trying to reach a bird's nest using her SUV for height leverage. The snake, likely a nonvenomous rat snake, eventually fell off her car. Reporting live, Jake White, WTV 9 News.
