Nice ones! Some fried turtle sounds good. Here's Monty and me bringing a snapper back from the pond a few years ago. Do you eat the softshell turtles?

I used to jug fish when I was a kid. Been a long time since I had turtle soup.

i have never eaten the soft shells, but A LOT of people i know eat them and said they taste great. chicken liver works really good for catchin them, most of the time you hook em in the foot tho.

well i been juggin here at the house for a few days, just wantin to see how big the kitty-fish are gettin. (and im impressed!) this morning i went out to check the jugs, and had 2 snappers. i got one in the boat, and when i was pullin the second one in, he broke the line! now imnot talkin 5 lb. mono here. he broke doubled over 30 lb braided spider wire!! i just hope i can get him out for he starts tearin up all my gills. anyway heres a link to a pick of the small one i did manage to get. viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=160978221&albumID=2129737&imageID=42718836

Here is a snapper i found by the road today. it was raining but i got him anyway. probably about 15 pounds or so. just released him in a small pond by my house, don't like turtle soup so no need to keep him. i49.tinypic.com/2hgwkgh.jpg
