It's turtles like that keeping me from "digital" fishing.  I'm no genius, but the idea of running my fingers into his mouth looking to pinch a catfish gives me the willies!

JW, if a guy noodled that old guy by mistake his nickname would be Lefty or maybe Righty.

Dang, she's a monster!  I love finding snapping turtles.  They're just so ancient looking!
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

Very cool to see your dog in action! Man that's a dandy snapper. Bet that one guy is glad that's not the one that got a hold of his nose >:D

     Nice!  8)  Is that a Heron feather?  Good to see a dog work like that.  8) I hope you gave it lots of praise. ;)  Yeah, I have never been a fan of noodling.  Too many other things that hold up in a hole under water!  Snakes, and snappers, and even gators! :o  I like my fingers, and hands attached where they are!  ;)  I think I would rather just use a stick to see what was in one of those holes!  If it felt like a big ol catfish, fine, but it it felt like a turtle, or gator, nope, There are other places to look! ;)

Stickbender, that is a snowgoose feather AKA common skycarp. I sent Cip a bag full o assorted feathers. That was an escapee the dogs found.

Snappers are GREAT eating ! Lots of stuff comes from one that size - Meat, Shell (crafting), Claws (necklaces) and the Neck & Leg leather - makes the BEST Bow Grips/Arrows passes going. Bob
