I had them try to climb up the paddle while I was trying to hit them. Because of a Cotton mouth I will never use a live fish basket agian ever.

Used to see them all the time in the sound at Nags Head, NC:
They are all over eastern NC as shown by the shaded area of this map:

There is not much that you can do other than seek medical attention.
Couple of studies to consider:
Using a porcine model, some researchers tested the efficacy of using compression bandages after a simulated severe bite from a western diamondback.
The compression bandaged did prolong life, but still, all 20 pigs in the study died.
Link to the abstract
Another couple of studies that are useful involve the testing of Sawyer Venom Extraction Kits. We've all seen the yellow boxes at Wal-Mart, I don't
suggest that you get one.
In this study they showed that the suction kits remove about 0.04% of the venom and the rest of the fluid is just interstitial fluid due to the
swelling happening from the bite. Link to the abstract
And another link to a pdf
So... If you're bitten by a large diamondback, hope for a dry bite and try to get to medical help.

About snattlerakes,
My opinion...
Time to haul to a hospital. Just about every small settlement will know the closest treatment available.

Still wondering- are you trying to make no rattle snakes for Texas or restore rattles on Baja snakes.
curious minds demand answers....
