Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Something up with snapper here too. I haven't seen half the snappers the last 5 years i've seen this year. A buddy grabbed a big dude on the road the same day I saw a decent one crossing the road near my house. Had a buddy catch one heading for his pond and my dad's buddy did the same thing with a huge one heading for his pond. And I've heard other people talking about seeing snappers on the road which is really rare here. We get normal turtles on the road but snappers never.
I swear I think all the shutdowns have caused the lakes and rivers to get over fished. I think these turtles are struggling to find fish.
I've got a buddy that fishes every weekend and he has talked about how hard it is to catch keepers now. He used to always get a cooler full but he's lucky to get a few keepers now. He said that during the shutdown the lakes were full 7 days a week the entire summer.

Fuck..... who won?
They are delicious.
No thanks ya Hillbilly...
Yeah looks like you are right. Referencing your other post, there are turtles everywhere here in Huntsville. I feel like I see one every day trying to cross the road
Should also add that our snapping turtles look wayyyyyy differnt than yours Croot.
Has a small one of these take a hunk out of my arm when I was 10 y/o +/-.
Neighborhood kid got one from the local creek and brought it home to show his sister. 5-6 of us were on the porch and I was standing next to the turtle holder. He was moving the turtle around and it got too close to my arm and decided I was a food source. Took a hunk out of my arm about the size of a milk dud.
You aināt lived until you had some good ole turtle stew, ya yankee.
They will be learning about this soon enough along with Armadillo stew as our economy is crashed and food plants are arsoned away.
