Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut. Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.

To each his own....
My 5-year old daughter and niece were watching it with me, and everytime dude cackled, the girls just looked at each other, smiled, and shrugged.

The video said Kentucky afield, but I think he was really from Texas.

He's not from Texas. We shoot stuff like that here! Turtles too! I think he was from north of the Mason/Dixon line somewhere!!

I'm trying to figure out if he was born crazy or the chainsaw accident made him that way...

LOL! Great question! We may have to kill him and examine his otolith to find the answer to that one!

Man, that little victory yelp of his has to rank up there with the most annoying sounds I've ever heard. What I'm even more shocked by is that he still has all his fingers. I've caught a couple with my bare hands, but they were basking in the sun when I grabbed them.

A dream day would be a morning of noodling catfish and an afternoon of turtle catching. And maybe some more work with the chainsaw.

I've caught, cleaned, and cooked a fair number of snapping turtles, starting way back in my teen years. No way I would grab one in muddy water, where I couldn't see which end was which. That boy just ain't right.

I caught one. I only tried it once. That was enough for me.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
