to bad it was a giagantor snapping turtle, d**n head was as big as my fist.  pulled it out of my neighborhood pond.  i've been fishing there over a year and never knew he was in there....i was flipping baby brush hogs along the bank and felt a tug, so i set the hook, nothing moved so i thought i was snagged i pulled and it moved so i thought it was a stick or something so i reeled it in and at about 5 feet away he made his appearance the shell was probably 3/4 the size of a man hole cover...hope he gets that hook out of his mouth =X

haha, d**n knownfactor. That topic title had me going! Did you actually land that thing to weight it  ?!

we had him almost to the bank, but i was in a tough spot to pick him up the line finally gave way..was using 14lb line to....it was huge biggest ive ever seen...

Funny...My best friend called me last night and told me he was fishing at one of our usuall ponds when he saw a couple of other guys there and one of them caught a snapping turtle.

that was me!  ;D in centreville right?

yep.  ;D

yep.  ;D

ive been fishing there for a year and a half and have never seen anyone else down there,  only thing that sucks is i let my 2 young painted turtles go in there, hope they survive that monster

I've been fishing there since a youngin. Lived in that neighborhood for about 15 years until I recently moved down 28 a few miles. I've seen that snapping turtle out of the water. I think its still pretty young. Its big, but Im sure it will get a whole lot bigger.

I hate turtles so much  >  I live near the gulf and when fishing for reds and trout in brackish water we have hooked alligator snapping turtles that are well over 100 lbs.
