Robert Jones Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am so glad Tom posted this. Just reassures me of my impression of KY. I never knew a snapper had 7 different cuts of meat on them. I just never quit learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks Tom, you've maid it that much more easy to be proud of KY. For me, not a day goes by where my impression of Kentucky ( I didn't want to use the abbreviation because I wouldn't want a clip in a web return to read " my impression of KY") fails to be reinforced.

hausdok Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 That's exactly how I used to catch them over at Mygatt Pond when I was a kid. We did it for fun and then turned them over to this old guy that lived nearby and I guess he ate them. Never got bit. There was one that was so big it scared the bejeezus out of me and I wouldn't go after it - neither would anyone else. It was easily four or five times the size of those in the video and he actually has stuff growing on his shell he was so old. We'd see that huge head sticking up out of the water when he surfaced for air and we'd give him a really wide berth. The McEnroe boys used to go down there with their .22's and try and nail him but none ever hit him - at least we never saw any evidence that they had. My friend got him by the tail once, realized who he'd gotten ahold of and freaked out; he was too afraid to let go and too afraid to hang on. He panicked, let go and got out of there as fast as he could. Poor guy was pale as a ghost when he finally got safely up on shore. There's nothing quite so smelly as a snapping turtle and after mucking around for them in a pond you usually smell very much the same. Thanks for that trip down memory lane. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Ben H Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not only is he doing it, from the looks of his website, he's doing it well. I'll bet that site cost more than any of us are willing to dish out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I gotta admit, I don't see the attraction he has for the ladies but they were all around him Go figure- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
