Forgot to ask, you gonna make some soup? Haven't ever had it but have heard nothing but good stuff.

As far as I know yes that is a snapper, and he was heavy too at least 15 lbs
 
I've always heard that it is good and my grandmother claims to make soup from them but i've never had any, not that I wouldn't.
 
I cauft a painted turtle last April, I was sort of startled- but content when I reeled mine in. At the time I didn't have any plans or need for mine, and let it go.

Yup, you caught a snapper :) Congratulations!
 
Snapper - cool! I love turtles. Even the mutants ninja ones that carry dork-ops :) I've run across some that were more than 50 lbs laying eggs. Great creatures and thanks for the pics.
 
I have caught a few snappers in my time. They don't fight on the rod as much as you would think they would.

Last one I caught was like trying to tow in a 4WD rock! Didn't fight, so much as dig in and "resist". Every time I go bullhead fishing, I get a pissed off snapping turtle! I guess they like rotten chicken livers too:eek: -Matt-

Yeah, thats what I was trying to say. I usually think I have a snag.
 
I caught one when I was young, thought I was snagged until my fishing buddy said that the canoe was being towed. It was a big one and he just pulled steady on the line. Being protected around here I ended up cutting off the lure, and it just disapeared like a sub.
 
They are great pics !!!
I love seeing any wildlife esp reptiles, that was an awesome find !!!
I am looking forward to seeing some Painted Turtles again this Summer !
You may have seen my previous post but I was pleased as punch when I took this snap last week...

Baby snappers are fun to leave in the kitchen sink...wait for the fire works.... then take the turtle back to the stream.
