A friends showed me how to catch snapping turtles years ago. You take a dead fish, maybe a perch, and hook it on a fishing pole. Clip a large (3 inch) red and white bobber onto the line right next to the fish and cast it out into the pond. Jiggle it around a bit and before long, any snappers in the pond will come around. When one grabs the fish the bobber will disappear, and you just reel it in very slowly. They won't let go of food once it is in their mouth, unless they get spooked. Once it is at the shore, you may have to get wet to grab it and drag it out, but it can be worth it. We used to catch turtles up to about 30lbs like that.

I only ate Turtle a couple of times. It was at Grand Lake St Marys at some little restaurant they have on the lake. It was very good.
To catch turtle here, just post a cute picture of a pug, or a YouTube video of a pug doing something funny, and he'll come along right quick. Just be ready to catch him once he bites, he can be rather quick and more than a little slippery when you try to grab a hold of him.

Republicans believe in abortion -- they just wait until they're born and then call them 'collateral damage'.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
