I never did find the article from Yankee Magazine a few years back about a fellow in the Northeast who rescues snappers and relocates them in other ponds/marshes for people who want them evacuated.
When we lived on a lake, we'd catch them and put them in marshlands far from us, two towns over. Vicious critters. Big as doormats. After I read the article, I figured that as fast as we were removing them, this guy was probably putting them back in our lake. ;)
