    You have no filter.......

    That might be the Scariest/Most Freakish thing I've ever seen.......If I'm on here posting at 2 a.m. tonight its from my nightmares about that thing......at a loss for words, which I'm never at a loss for words.

    AH, my grandpa used to act like he was under attack by terrorist when he'd see a Coyote......always bitchen about them killin stuff on his farm.


    Speaking of Terrorist, good to see you going Al Qaeda on your catch, that's refreshing and will also contribute to my nightmares....


    Isn't that still kinda small, I thought they got really huge......like 50 or 500lbs? If so, color me unimpressed and go get a bigger one! :)


    Sorta.......you hit and exceeded your quota on the danger factor with that THING, that is literally the f...ing weirdest thing I've ever seen and I would drop dead of a heart attack if it ever came close to me, literally! Since the impetus of this whole thread is Big Turtles, you still need to get a bigger one, I think.....or is that one big? Steve?
  3. Cajun Sensation I'm kind of a big deal

    Tell me more about that eel thing.

    Also, why did you chop the heads off of them painted turtles?

    It's not an eel. I wish someone would've had a video cam on me when I wrestled it. It took me underwater for a second then I got my footing and choked the life out of that sonuva bytch.

    Why you gig flounders muther phucker. It's how I roll.


    Nah, seriously, they're taking over. You wouldn't believe how many there are everywhere. With a hook in their mouth I just went the quickest route and cut the head. If they're in a trap I dump them out and shoot 'em or put a hatchet through them. Believe it or not, I don't like doing this. Thing is I often get access to ponds cause people want to clean 'em out. I tell them SOME are necessary as they play an important part in the ecosystem.



    Alligator snappers get real big. "Common" snappers not so much. I'm not sure exactly how big but around here 10 lbs. up is a good one. I guess they have a hard time getting bigger when people slam the brakes to pick them up.

    Was talking to the meter-reader when he came the other day. He told me he had 3 he'd picked up and his buddy who read meters in another area had some too.

    Tiga, my parents have a crapload of turtles in their pond and want to get rid of a bunch. Dad tries shooting them on the bank, but the minute you shoot one they all dash for the water. What's the best way to diminish their numbers?

    It's ok Kid, time to see what you are made of......happy Turtling!

    Get the 1 1/2 inch mesh, it'll last longer. Put some red meat or bloody meat (fresh- I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HEAR about rotten/smelly) in a bait bag suspended.
