It almost got hit by a car so I picked it up. It was crossing a gravel road by my house.I assume she had laid her eggs and was heading back to the creek. It is the biggest snapper that I have seen. The shell was 18″ across and it weighed 35 lbs. Allthough my taste buds were salivating I went down and put her in the creek.
I can smell it from here… 
I give ya a 
on the good deed though…
Good Scout, did his good deed for the day.
Me if I’d had someone to clean it for me would have seen it headed for a pot. 
Have you taken one, par-boiled it till just beginning to get tender, let it cool down and dip it in beer batter and deep fry it. It is as good as any chicken. Unbelievable!!!
How did you get it to smile for the camera!
Fishing Machine? You need to get out and go to KFC. 
Leave her be, Brian. She’s got the right idea. Or maybe boil the meat with some alspice and add veggies for a good soup if the weather turns cooler some day.
….Fishing Machine, how does it feel to have a guy stand up for ya that 
“loves spoiled carp”. 
I’m a sucker for turtles crossing the road. I like to stop and help them when I can.

YUM YUM!!
Nothing better than deep fried Turtle!!
Thats exactly what my wife does, boils it and then fries it. My mouth was watering the whole time I put her back. I will just have to pick on her offspring this winter. As old as she is I figure she has a few keepers out there. It was the biggest snapper that I’ve seen.
