    Tell me more about that eel thing.

    Also, why did you chop the heads off of them painted turtles?

    It's not an eel. I wish someone would've had a video cam on me when I wrestled it. It took me underwater for a second then I got my footing and choked the life out of that sonuva bytch.

    Why you gig flounders muther phucker. It's how I roll.


    Nah, seriously, they're taking over. You wouldn't believe how many there are everywhere. With a hook in their mouth I just went the quickest route and cut the head. If they're in a trap I dump them out and shoot 'em or put a hatchet through them. Believe it or not, I don't like doing this. Thing is I often get access to ponds cause people want to clean 'em out. I tell them SOME are necessary as they play an important part in the ecosystem.



    Alligator snappers get real big. "Common" snappers not so much. I'm not sure exactly how big but around here 10 lbs. up is a good one. I guess they have a hard time getting bigger when people slam the brakes to pick them up.

    Was talking to the meter-reader when he came the other day. He told me he had 3 he'd picked up and his buddy who read meters in another area had some too.

    Tiga, my parents have a crapload of turtles in their pond and want to get rid of a bunch. Dad tries shooting them on the bank, but the minute you shoot one they all dash for the water. What's the best way to diminish their numbers?

    Get the 1 1/2 inch mesh, it'll last longer. Put some red meat or bloody meat (fresh- I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HEAR about rotten/smelly) in a bait bag suspended.
