Our KY friends have been holding out on us

[Tom Raymond]

I had to drive all the way to Grand Rapids, MI to meet a Kentuckian willing to share this:

GTFO! He had his teeth knocked out by a CHAINSAW!?!?

Thanks Tom, you've maid it that much more easy to be proud of KY.

[Robert Jones]

I am so glad Tom posted this. Just reassures me of my impression of KY. I never knew a snapper had 7 different cuts of meat on them. I just never quit learning.

For me, not a day goes by where my impression of Kentucky ( I didn't want to use the abbreviation because I wouldn't want a clip in a web return to read " my impression of KY") fails to be reinforced.

[Robert Jones]

Damn, I didn't think about the KY!

That's exactly how I used to catch them over at Mygatt Pond when I was a kid. We did it for fun and then turned them over to this old guy that lived nearby and I guess he ate them. Never got bit.

There was one that was so big it scared the bejeezus out of me and I wouldn't go after it - neither would anyone else. It was easily four or five times the size of those in the video and he actually has stuff growing on his shell he was so old. We'd see that huge head sticking up out of the water when he surfaced for air and we'd give him a really wide berth. The McEnroe boys used to go down there with their .22's and try and nail him but none ever hit him - at least we never saw any evidence that they had.

My friend got him by the tail once, realized who he'd gotten ahold of and freaked out; he was too afraid to let go and too afraid to hang on. He panicked, let go and got out of there as fast as he could. Poor guy was pale as a ghost when he finally got safely up on shore.

There's nothing quite so smelly as a snapping turtle and after mucking around for them in a pond you usually smell very much the same.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

It's a wonderful thing to find your own special niche in life.

Not only is he doing it, from the looks of his website, he's doing it well. I'll bet that site cost more than any of us are willing to dish out.

Hurtful . . .

You have heard me speak. Not all of us are like Turtle Dude.

[Tom Raymond]

I was in a room with 6 Kentuckians who all insisted they sounded nothing like him either.

Just saying.

You'd better hope your wife doesn't read this thread...

And he was there again this year.

Though I gotta admit, I don't see the attraction he has for the ladies but they were all around him

Go figure-
