Caught this one crossing the road Wednesday.

Too small to eat, I wondered what to do.

Then it hit me.

Training for the snapper circus has begun.

Your circus baby looks rather clean. Might have escaped from a pool?

He had to be properly cleaned to be presentable for the carnie folk.

I found him in the middle of a busy highway.

I passed him, locked up my brakes, slid into a drive way and sprinted to pick him up.

I couldn't stop laughing as I ran down the road carrying the smallest snapper ever.

I think I emailed her the google thing you sent.

Fin, I know yall can do what y'all want there but DO yall shoot pistols and sh1t? I ask because I know you have a lot of lots rented out for camps and don't know if it's safe or if you're far away enough and have a place to do so.

I'll bring my Glocks if so.

Spicy and Hardhead, looking forward to sharing a drink. Anyone with nothing to do Saturday should at least ride out and come have a drink.

It's supposed to be 95 degrees but I'm still bringing firewood. I love fires and won't camp without one.

Unbelievably terrible. Set 5 nets and not a single dam turtle...NOT ONE. And I'm talking about red-ears too.

Should've known it was going to be one of those trips when fin showed up Friday afternoon with no bait.

Caught by someone I know. Not far from Fin's camp.
His sister told me they saw it and chased after it in the water for over an hour. Not sure how they ended up catching it. I forget how much it weighed but 130+

Holy mother of frick

That is a once in a lifetime turtle these days, if you're lucky enough to live that good of a life.

I have a 8-9 acre pond at my parents house and have seen people pull decent sized turtles out of it. My question is, what is the best way to catch these things, seems like I have rarely seen them.
