He was very good eating. Those are some cool pics, we don't intentionally fish for them, but we do keep them when we catch them. My wife makes a very tasty stew of of them.

Boy you should intentionally fish for em. I started catchin em outa that lil lake 4 years ago.

4 yrs ago the biggest catfish I could catch out of there was a couple pounds and a good haul was 6 fish.

Since I started catching the big turtles out?? Last summer I caught an 8# cat out of it and an average catch is 20 fish.

Good luck with your project!! I would love to see some finished pics.

Well, I finally got me a couple bags of turtle shells a feller trapped out of his stock tank, maybe 10 or 15.  Trouble is they are not completely cleaned out and the aroma is MOST HORRID!  I read back through here and no one ever said if I can boil the left-over inhabitant out of the shell and not ruin the shell.  Does anyone know?  Otherwise I can just experiment.

The guy said there is one more the size of a turkey platter that the ants are still working on!  Can't wait to get that one!
