I have recently caught some fish with cuts in their backs. The cuts appear to have been made by a large turtle but I'm not sure what caused them. Can a snapping turtle attack fish that are two pounds and larger?
It's more likely the cuts were caused by catfish (if you have any) or birds. If a snapper latches on to a fish, it's usually a goner. The only way a fish will survive is when it was barely nipped, in which case it will be a very small wound.
