48" bottom in the boat. He tangled in the net and drowned. Will make a beautiful shell on the wall.

I watched a meattrapper video on youtube. He was almost through with the whole butchering process and the heart was still beating. That's one tough critter. Guess they don't ever have heart attacks.

Shane, I'm assuming the meat was spoiled. Is that what happened, or were you able to clean it?

Yea it is spoiled. Water is still real warm. I had a 45 pounder in the boat when I got to this one. I turned him loose to keep this one. That one per day limit is a bummer.

Nobody has posted on this thread for a while so I thought I would liven it up with a picture of the load I sold last night. This is the back of my full size pickup truck. Sorry one is a little blurry

There's money to be made turtle trapping in Louisiana. Most of the species are legal to sell. Snappers and softshell make the check whilethe rest cover expenses.


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

I make a few bucks over expenses. Main thing for me is it is FUN. Hard work, sure, most of these were carried from trap to truck in a garbage can, some over 100 yards, but to me it is a blast! The thrill of checking turtle traps is the same as checking fur traps, what might be in the next trap keeps up the excitement. You just never know when the next trap might have a 50+ pound snapper. Like fur trapping its all Location, Location, Location. Learning the "where to set" is just as important as "the how to set". I have lost 80 pounds since this picture from August of 2015, just so I could be in better shape to catch snappers. Now I am almost a shadow at 270 pounds!
The thrill of what is in the next trap is stronger than the thrill of eating a dish of ice cream.
I was hoping the Ohio convention this weekend was in eastern Ohio. We were going to attend if it was and bring a turtle trap for those who wanted to see, one but it is in Lima so maybe next year. The wife and I sure miss going to the all the conventions we useta' attend.

what's a good bait if you can't get a hold of these real oily fish ? I've been using frozen bream but it's not doing to good. Would buffalo possibly work ? I can buy it dirt cheap of the side of the road

If buffalo is carp it will work fine but put in traps fresh frozen and set traps within an hour before dark. As soon as it goes sour they do not want it. Eric
