Jeff, it is amazing how big we get snappers here in the bogs of south jersey. The blueberry and cranberry bogs have the biggest turtles I have ever seen.
I've seen some that were almost as big as a man hole cover.
Is it that big? Or bigger?
As kids we caught many of them in
the mill pond.Catch a kibby, smash
the hell out of it.Hook it real good
and cast it where you see bubbles surfacing.
Caught some big ones,but it takes forever
to bring one in,they grab on to everything.
I have no idea how big that is.

No, this is the typical snapper. The alligator snapper is a much larger turtle. I saw one in a zoo that went 360+ pounds.
What did you do with him?
Eat em.
When we catch them in our club. We release.[:)]
We saw at close hand, a large pair mating. When you see their heads close together you can see a big difference in head shape between male and female.
