Ummm, if it attacked someone this could be a legitimate response. About the only way to get them to let go is cut the head off, and they can do serious damage.

I always heard that old story about snappers and fortunately, I never found out the hard way or knew anyone personally who did. When we would go swimming, if we saw turtle noses poking up, we never got in just in case they were snappers. I don't know if they would actually grab a human foot or something that big unless in self-defense. No idea.

I have eaten snappers before, they are actually pretty good. I watched grandpa clean them though... I wouldn't go through that much trouble for the amount of meat he got.

Exactly, but sadly many would rather a fisherman lose a couple of fingers than the man protect himself- you can see how quick people jumped on the story without knowing all the facts- lots of people just waiting in life to pounce on others I guess
