More turtles

Here are some more turtles pics that Rick requested.

I think this is the one you were talking about Rick. I caught him the year before last with 14 pound test line fishing for bass with a live shiner.



This one was the biggest turtles of last year (I think). I caught alot of turtles last year between 20 and 30 pounds.



This was another nice one from last year.



Jake's big turtle. I have never seen a soft shell so dark.





Few more big turtles



15 turtles in that tank all from one weekend

Cool.

Do you clean them up and clean them willy, they are really good eating both fried and in soup.

Very nice, Willy! I love to fry my turtle, then put it in a casserole dish with some water and pop it in the oven for an hour or so! YUM YUM!~!

I love fried turtle. We eat a bunch of them every year. Not only do I catch them for us I also catch them for my grandparents, Mr. Cabe, Mr. Whitaker, some of the people that live around Mr. Whitaker, the people that live across the road from my grandparents, plus whoever else ask for some. I have an awesome place to go catch them. One weekend last year I set three lines out in the old rock quarry. I usually check them in the morning and right before dark. I checked them 5 times and caught 15 turtles with only 3 lines.

thats alot of turtles.

Nice turtles

Here something you should check out, here you need a turtle license to catch and sell them, but the Chinese restaurants buy them here and pay good money for them.

Thanks for the info Mike, I will have to check into that. Around here you don't have to have any special liscense to catch them, but I am not sure about selling them.

Thats the one Willy,may want to check about selling someof them,bet you could make a few bucks.
