Watch your fingers.....Snapping turtle in there

[BrAin]

Yesterday, I went to look for some native fish near my moms place. (mollies and bowfins) I saw a little bit of activity near the culverts but nothing real special. I walked down to one of my favorite areas and leaned down to stick the dip net in the culvert and came face to face with this guy. He darted into the culvert and I jumped back about five feet and started laughing at myself. After throwing back several dozen small crawfish I decided there was too much vegetation and headed back home. Before I left I threw out an old minnow trap and tied it off. Today I went back and guess who was guarding the trap.

With summer coming around there's a lot more swimming pools being sold... would be pretty cool to convert one.

My sister has one of those cheap ones with the blow up ring from last summer. I think the nails on this guy would tear it up though.

we caught one about a year ago. Its shell was more square so must be a different type. He was pretty honery though. We just took some photos and let it loose. Had never been chased by a turtle before, that turtle was pissed that we woke it up.
