Don't do it. You're only going to grab the wrong end once.
Screw that.
No way in the world I'd mess with those things.

Stick your finger in his mouth. He'll let go when it thunders.

I had one net full of bream. Meant to take picture but was in a hurry to get them in cage to keep alive for bait at the river.
One trap had 20 strippers/cooters. W, I had told you 18 but noticed on recount there were 20.
The place I caught them is a clean up job a guy asked me to do in his pond so, as you can see by the bullet holes....they must die.
Don't want to hear shite, this place ain't for pussies.
I did have two in one net. Only other time I ever caught snapping turtles in my nets, I had two also.

W, you mentioned them being tough or something in reference to them staying alive a couple of days in a bucket.
They'll live long. I keep mine in these big lick tubs the farmers supplement their cows' diets with.
It purges them and after a couple of days the algae and shite comes off of their shell. I guess from the chlorine. I'll toss them some lettuce and/or ham or minnows to feed them a bit.
You'll have to change the water a couple of times. They dirty it very quickly the first couple of days- especially.

Awesome results! There are people in China crying right now over the cooter slaughter.
Frick em.
Cool photos too. You've now caught more than I have.

Funny thing about nets is that you'll either have a snapping turtle OR red-neck/strippers/etc. Whatever gets in first.
I guess snapping turtles are a bit arrogant like specklebellies...they don't mix with the underclass.

Not a dam snapper this morning. Had one net with about 12 big arse striper-ears.
Feast or famine.

The farmer who lets me access one place I set picked up one crossing the road the other day while he was going to check a field on his 4-wheeler.
Another farmer a mile away was digging out a ditch with a backhoe and caught 5. I'm like wtf?!?!

I'm heading back home in a couple weeks and getting me some. Yall done gave me the itch for a turtle sauce picante. There is a big stagnant ditch running through our property a ways back behind the house and last time my uncle went through there cleaning it up on the backhoe he found them by the dozens. I think the gizzard on the stake is going to be my method of choice.

VP as in Ville Platt or Vermillion Parish? Not that it matters, I don't know any family members from either. I know Houma and Thibedeaux are full of em though. I'm a St Landry boy myself.
W- yea I think that would be one advantage . Of course you'd have to eat a lot of turtle bc the minimum wage won't buy no rib eyes
