Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Snappers Under the Ice

Up in Canada here we see this all the time.

Trapping when I was a kid, for muskrat, I can remember coming across a few snappers. One I thought was a rock and was in the way of my set. I laid down on the shore to get a good lift on the rock. As it pulled it up I was nose to nose with a young snapper about 12"s across. Thank the lord the water was so cold it was really slow. I dropped that rock so fast and rolled away from the bank it would make your head spin.

Cheers Don.
