That bad boy will hurt you! I was cleaning a flooded ditch, something grabbed the shovel, and held on. I went back and got the shovel when the water went down!
Snappers are nasty...My daughter lost one of her ducks to one in their pond...Her husband recently got a good shot at it...don’t know if he killed it or not...it didn’t float back up....Another friend lost one of his ducks to a snapper. That one floated up from the pond about 3 days after he shot it..It weighted 25 pounds and 2 foot long...If one knows how to cook a snapper, I hear they are good eating..(just not after they have been dead 3 days)
