Those are the kind I wouldn't kill, just release. They got to that size/age, let them be.

Me too. A turtle that size is likely old enough to have been around when WWI was being fought and I respect anything that old.

OMG. That's huge. World record huge. I saw one years ago in the Homosassa River in FL. Was thrashing around on the top of the water. Scariest thing in fresh water in my book.

Cool.

I'm guessing it's much older than that. They have an exceptionally long life span. A wildlife biologist could determine it's age. I figure about 150 years, at least.

32 replies and no one has told the story about that guy who found one so old it had a civil war musket ball in it
Same guy that won’t scuba dive anymore because he saw a catfish at the dam on Lake X the size of a Volkswagen

I will never forget one of these monsters slowly lumbering across my yard. My preteen self thought it was a good idea to poke at it with the plastic bow/arrow I was using. It snapped that thing in half like a twig. Learned a lot that day.
