snapper soup
Snapping turtles are the largest fresh water turtles in the United States and this is one very large turtle. I found this big one this morning swimming in a fresh water impoundment near the Delaware Bay. Sinister looking, snapping turtles this size are the terror of fish and aquatic creatures especially young waterfowl like geese and ducks that are stalked and captured from underwater.

Beautiful pics….. Glad I found this site. My youngest son has aspirations of being an animal conservationist. He’ll love it. When I was a kid, My Pop had a snapper he caught in the wicomico that would bite 2″ round sticks into. Scary turtles
