I about **** my pants, It was a GIANT snapping turtle.  |
I caught a pretty large snapping turtle on a spoon on my rod and reel at camp in Tennessee when I was about 12. It took me forever to drag it from the fishing dock all the way up the hill about 1.5 miles to the dining hall. We secured it and announced turtle soup would be available at dinner. Some clowns decided that was inhumane and released it. I literally caught the same turtle again 2 days later. Needless to say, I didn't tell anyone and enjoyed a very well made turtle soup with a few select individuals
