    This one isn’t in relation to any Ufdaflathead.

    Instead this one pertains to DTRO. After fishing with him a few times this year he has managed to hook 4 turtles and its not even July. 3 snappers and 1 softshell. I have to say the softshell had us both thinking nice Flat.

    So hence fouth I hear by dubb theee…… DTURTLE

    Dang, that’s a long neck!

    Can you eat softshells? Snappers are quite tasty.

    I tried one once. I caught a big one and thought it might be good. They taste like duck and a bit greasy. I probably won’t eat another.

    I believe that guys neck isn’t extended all the way either. I think I wrote here before that a guy I knew in college had 2 little ones in a tank. They like to bury themselves with their heads sticking out of the sand. When they need air the telescope them up to the surface for a breath while their buried bodies remained in place..

    I can tell you that you do not want to hold them like a snapper. I was holding the rear legs and almost got bit on mine!

    Holding them by the rear leg and he almost bit you! I spose they have to be able to defend themselves, eh? Just can’t picture one stretching back that direction, but I’m sure they are able to!

    I think he meant it almost bit HIS leg when he was holding it by it’s rear legs. Although I am pretty sure those things could bite their own tail.

    Yep, this one fought much harder than the snappers
    I think I called it a 20 more than once
