From experience I found out softshell turtles are mean as heck. They're like a snapping turtle with ADHD 😂

My uncle always said if one bites you, you would have to pee on his head to make him turn loose.

I put my tackle away for over 3 years once due to soft shell turtles. Protected in Mo. They'd float around seeing fishermen on the bank, go under looking for the food they knew would be there. I'd always try to get the hook out because hooks don't rust away that fast in freshwater. One was hooked in the front foot, thought I had his head covered with my boot, damn thing got that head out and got me. I grabbed my hatchet out of the box and off came the head. Decided I wasn't going to pay that big fine, lose my license for 10 years. When I did start back up it was seldom for cats, mostly crappie.

My grandpa loved to fish. He built a huge dam on his property and had a small lake. He stocked it with fish he caught elsewhere and he hated snapping turtles! He caught one and cut its head off. His hound started sniffing around the turtles head and it latched onto the poor dog’s nose. I don’t remember how he got it off after he caught the screaming dog. But I remember he quartered the head with a hatchet.

Always love you stuff man but you don't know Cajun cooking. From your smoked redfish to your shrimp tacos I sat here quietly and learned some interesting recipes BUT IT IS NOT OKAY for you to cook a beautiful snapping turtle that way! On behalf of the people of Lafourche, we object. Please never do that again. We love you! Love your Channel!

@OutsidetheLevees 26 күн бұрын

A couple things here. I released the snapping turtle. I am against keeping those turtles personally. Maybe pay a little more attention before you rush to judge. It was the soft shell. Secondly this is not a Cajun channel and I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a West Louisiana Cajun. I'm from the New Orleans area and we have a wide influence of many cultures. I grew up on Louisiana food. Cooked it all the time. But I've done over 200 recipes on this channel and in the early days already did the Louisiana food. It's my job to keep it interesting and a traditional sauce picante has been done too many times before in my opinion. And I do thank you for the support but I stand by my decision.

Caught one back in 89 , found it almost dead on someone's limb line on the Sabine river, It barely fit in the bed of a Chevy luv, with it turned sideways, no telling how old it was but like I said it was on its way out after a big flood, but we harvested 160 lbs of good meat from it and for years we had the shell at our camp until another bad storm came and reclaimed it

@Ray56z 5 ай бұрын

We got a 307lb snapper, sounds about the same size in the F250 pickup bed. I was 4, was decades ago, don't know if I ever heard what the meat weight was. Was up a small side creek of a channel we had running across miles of bottom row crop land. Step-gramps would come out for planting season. Came to the house, told me to grab my gumboots, he grabbed stuff and I had no idea what was going on. Took 10' of #9 alloy wire, one end to a log chain, hammered a V hook on the other, tossed me over the creek and told me to find a branch and keep the snappers attention beating the weeds and running back and forth. When it turned and seen him, in the mouth went that V hook, it bit down and the wire came through the skin of the bottom jaw. Chain on the hitch bar of the Deere and to the house we went.

I miss some good turtle! Been decades since I've had any. There's plenty of ol' snappers or they wouldn't let you harvest them there, 1 of 2 states that allow it. I don't know about soft shell, but there's plenty of meat along the shell too, actually the best meat on a snapper. Step-Gramps using me as a distraction at 4 years old, snagged a 307lb snapper. Had turtle a dozen ways but my favorite was veggie stock with lite seasoning in the pressure cooker on shell meat, frig for a day, then ate as cold meat on crackers with sharp cheddar, or aged longhorn coby. My backyard is mown grass to the water of a Florida river, soft shell and snappers all day on a downed tree trunk across the river, but I will not break laws, especially fish and game laws.Maybe Gerald, a seafood dealer I sell wholesale to, will pick me up some on his Wed. trips to La. He and his family have several trawlers there and Tx, he brings back a twin-screw reefer box truck of shrimp and crawdads. Have me jonesing for some turtle now!
