aceman387 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I would be afraid of the thing. http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/outposts/post/alligator-snapping-turtle-surprising-c Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted May 15, 2014 Super User Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, that thing is scary looking! The turtle is as well. Quote
Bassin Bob Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 My son and I caught one of those on Lake Toho in Florida. He bit a shiner and I thought I hooked a submarine! When he got to the surface, and I saw what I had, I grabbed the scissors to cut the line. He came up hissing and flailing about. Mine wasn't as big as the article, but it weighted about 30lbs or so. Ugly and mean! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted May 15, 2014 Super User Posted May 15, 2014 That thing is huge. Turtle cowboy boots. Just saying...... Quote

Super User Fishes in trees Posted May 16, 2014 Super User Posted May 16, 2014 In olden times, when I had my little 10' Water Buster, I bumped into what I thought was a floating log on Grindstone Reservoir, near Cameron, MO. A head came up and a beast of similar sized looked at me and seemed to say, "If you leave right now, I won't mess with you." I left the area as fast as my 50 lb thrust electric trolling motor would take me. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted May 16, 2014 Super User Posted May 16, 2014 That pic looks like the beginning of a redneck joke; "hey, watch this" The guy's very lucky he didn't have some body parts removed. The neck on one of those things is a lot longer than you think. Quote
