I made the stupid mistake of shooting s bunch of huge snappers when I first moved to my pond.. After a little enlightening I relized these turtles could be as old as me and really are only beneficial to a pond.. Just think next time you kill a snapper the size of a 5 gallon bucket that it could be over 20 yrs old, and has prolly never ate a live fish over 5"..


I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
