FlintWalker:
I took my boy fishing yesterday evening. He caught several nice catfish and I hung into this big 'ol feller.
 The farmer didn't want him in his pond, so I took him home.  My Bassett hound (Elmer) didn't know what to make of it. I kept hoping he wouldn't stick his nose too close to them snappin jaws. That could hurt!
 My boy said he wanted to eat it, so I reckon we'll have him for supper in a night or two. Should be good  ;)

  Yummy! ;D

Cacatch:
I bet that was good! I've never had turtle, but I always did think it would be tasty. How do ya go about butchering one?

Thats a good one Shannon.  What did the boy think about the taste.  I personally don't care for it.

gstoneberg:
I'll be curious how it tastes for you.  As a kid, we always put snappers in a stock tank for a week with clean water before killing and butchering them.  The grandparents said it would get rid of the muddy taste.  I've always wondered if that was an old wives tale, but I cleaned one the day I caught it a few years back and it wasn't good at all.  They're a mess to clean too, not sure I'll do it again.  Interesting how the neck meat is white and the legs dark.
