the dogs found this one wed evening, it was almost dark. I didnt want to mess with it in the dark!! the next day we found him trying to sneak into our pond but was caught on the wrong side of a fence. I didnt want him in the pond and worry that he might bite one of the dogs, so I caught him with a landing net and took him to the river for a better place to live. he just fit into the net, shell front to back was about 15 inches
T.J's so proud of his largest fish he'd caught earlier that morning while kayak fishing off the Coastline.
Below the pier along one side there was shallow water with thick sludge/silt right below the surface. Perfect conditions for this baby snapping turtle. Looked like a rock sticking out of the water at first. The first baby snapper I'd ever seen.
Eastern Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina)
