I'm relatively new at the pond business, but so far I can honestly say that nothing has been easier than removing snappers. I've removed three good sized turtles in the last month. The turtles always show up when I feed the fish. Throw some pellets along the shoreline. It may take a couple days but I sit in a lawn chair at the edge of the pond and the snappers come right to me. Just scoop them out with a landing net. I didn't even have to stand up for the last two. True story.
