The only way to know how close you can get to the nose of a snapping turtle is to go closer than you know you should. Curiosity kills camera lenses... it also takes fingers! - This has been a reptilian oriented public safety announcement.
Matthew Peacock says this gorgeous snapper was caught on the east coast of Australia. Matthew was using a G. Loomis BSR852 GLX with a Shimano Stella 4000 which easily handled this 8 lb, 26" beauty, even on such a very wet day!
