Both times we thought they were giant grouper! I’ve also caught a few giant snapping turtle at my grandparents farm house in Ohio, back in the day. Fishing plastic worms. Here’s an old pic of one That I caught. And here is a picture of a free swimming sea turtle in La Jolla back in 2014 |

That snapper is nuts. I have seen some big ones swimming in the NH lakes and rivers of my childhood, and even hooked one in a trout stream one time (although not quite that big!). They look like straight up dinosaurs.

My grandfather used to pluck them off with a 30/30 every couple mornings so us kids wouldn’t lose a toe while we were swimming. |
