I also think this is possibly a troll going fishing.

But in case not, rattlesnakes do a great job controlling vermin, and should be relocated if at all possible, not killed. I find them in my woodpile occasionally and get them into a 5 gallon bucket with a spin top lid wih air holes, and take them up country a little way were they are less likely to encounter people.

Are you sure you did not kill a bullsnake instead? People are always killing bull snakes thinking it is a rattler.
