Aw, man, that's a bruiser!! Got a head the size of a softball! (how did you get it to smile for the shot?) What's a quarrles trap?

Lewis Quarrles, Snowhill, MD passed away a few years ago. He built and sold a floating cylinder cage trap for snappers. Newt sells them too. I tie a half of brick on a four foot line to keep them from drifting too much. In pond/lake toss it in deep water 15' off shoreline, then retrieve with throw line and hook. Keeps most people from stealing them, although I had one ripped last week frown

Had a 21lb female in same trap this morning. The big guy had some bird shot hits on his body armor smile

I would guess pretty darn old, maybe Newt would have best educated guess.
