awhuber Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 That's one brave fellow there.... Ahem...or stupid...we were rooting for the turtle, ir almost got him before he let it go.
FishinCricket Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Ahem...or stupid...we were rooting for the turtle, ir almost got him before he let it go. Well I've seen snapping turtles reach back and nearly bite their own tail.. Saw one clamp onto a guys arm one time, it was not pretty at all... I'm not afraid, mind you.. I just have a very healthy respect for wild animals who can snap a 2x4 in half! cricket.c21.com
stlfisher Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Saw a giant one last year at the first bend below the wire. At first I thought it was a rock. Then it started swimming. Rocks can't swim in case you were wondering. It was massive.
trizkid Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 saw two that size last year at the first boulder set below the wire, there were back in a drain ditch right off the stream. TrIzzout

ollie Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I've seen them bigger, but my hats off to the guy who is holding that monster!! That turtle does not look like a happy camper! "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
jdmidwest Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I thought the snapper looked pretty happy, he is smilin for the camera. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Outside Bend Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 The only animal I've ever been squeamish about cleaning- you cut the flesh and it begins curling and wriggling in your hands. Pretty tasty, though. <{{{><
