This one measured 11 1/4" across the shell. Seems like the biggest I'd ever seen.

It's a big one. When I was able to sell Yellow Bellys (Cooters) in North Carolina.They were sold by Count.We would put 25 per feed sack.Man I did'nt like to see'm when they were that big.This week we had some big ones.Some of the biggest I have seen.

TURTLES by the TON video footage is shot.Now Clint has to edite it, then off to get duplated. They should be on the market in 2-3 weeks
4 days 1103 # of the prety'est snappers you will ever see on video.

We're not allowed to keep them, but the snapper game has me intrigued. Sure see enough to at least get me thinking. It's about time someone came out with a Vid!
