Did you see any signs of any alligator snapping turtles ? Normally youd never see one unless maybe one drown on a line or spring time nesting. The Trinity is the western most river for them. Some in the Trinity are huge, pushing well over 200 pounds.
@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780Ай бұрын
Interesting I didn't know we're on the edge of their range, we catch tons of them accidentally on throw lines, but don't usually see them out and about. A 200lb turtle is hassive! Biggest one I've caught may have been 90lb
@DoctorSessАй бұрын
I saw a pretty big one on the northside of Conroe but it wasn’t 200lbs that’s huge. I also caught a smaller one on a senko (size of a dinner plate). We did see about a 13ft alligator up there as well. I don’t swim up there anymore 😅
