I was down by the river on Bridge Street harvesting plants for my goldfish pond when I slipped and fell into the swift moving river and whacked the shell of the second biggest snapper I have ever seen weighed 30-40 pounds. Man can those bass turds swim! The current was fast and I was with the turtle for a couple seconds. It’s definitely an impressive experience.

Heh. Good job, and pretty close at that.........must be a saying about sleeping with the fishes, um, er.....nasssty turtles.....

We used to have lots of snappers in our pond where we used to live, and they would climb around the hillsides for whatever reason.

I have had the pleasure of booting them in the rear as they snap........and OMG do they snap.....they seem like projectile cannons, amazingly powerful as they try to defend themselves. Scary critters.

I caught one that weighed about 20 lbs.

The tail makes a good handle...
