Snapping Turtle Soup - Catch, Clean, Cook

Bob (Grandpa) passes along the tradition of making turtle soup from the water all of the way to the bowl!

[@208miuwu]

Best part of this 3 generations of y'all spending time together and having some Beers. The bonding and Memories are PRICELESS.

[@user-eg6mc8vh5j]

Hey, I am from S.C . I want you all to know that I throughly enjoy watching your video and especially your Grandfather. I know you all know how blessed your family is by the way you all enter acted together. I honestly believe you know how I feel and the great memories that y’all brought back to me watching y’all interacting together.Fishing and cooking together.God bless you all.Your friend from S.C John.

[@Cdubp01]

Man, I wish I still had my pops and granpa. Enjoy those moments, they’re all too fleeting! Loved living it a little vicariously through your video! ✌🏻

[@stephencolebrook9895]

I can't tell who's the luckiest, a grandpa with son and grand son, a father with father and son, or a son with dad a grandpa. Beautiful.

[@geradmccoy7152]

That is absolutely the ultimate. Family and family traditions being passed on. God Bless You!

[@mrhalfstep]

Both of my Grandpas were dead by the time I was born, so I never had these experiences with them. I can tell that you cherish him and the experiences, as you should, and the old guy really knows his way around a kitchen. I had a great (as in terrific) uncle that helped me experience the outdoors and I feel for him the same way. I did know my Grandmas and I learned to cook from 'em, so I know a real cook when I see one and he's a keeper.

It's all about family!!! My regards to grandpa Bob! He reminds me of my father, he's 95 this year and still goes out fishing on his boat and cooks and drives! We need the old folks around. We have a lot to learn from them!

[@lorenrobertson8039]

Ole One Eye was also my grandfather's giant catfish that got away and he got to finally catch it again late in life. He was so very proud and we ate it for a year! It was almost as tall as me, and I am (was...I'm old and shorter now), 4'10 1/2" tall! How exciting for your Grandpa! I never ate turtle, and don't think I would go through that much trouble. It's creepy how it keeps moving as you clean it after it is dead. After watching you prepare the soup, and how well you cleaned the meat it sounds really good! You are so blessed to still have your parents and esp. grandparents. They are precious so treasure every moment!

[@scooter1632]

I'm 65 now, me my dad and papa used to catch turtles and make turtle stew and the smaller ones were skinned and fried they were delicious

[@thomaswalls2410]

Grandpa got mad skills.brought back some dam good memories 😊

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Some good times there bro. Absolutely brilliant video of your gramps dad and yourself

[@chadbooth4371]

This guy is a gem! He needs a cooking show!

[@1991Nodoubt]

3 generations and all sound the same lol Seems like a cool time, days to miss for sure. Wanna learn to fish so I can have days like that with my daughter.

[@mjleger4555]

The bellies on those two older gents look like they've put away a LOT of beer over the years! For those watching who may be upset seeing the turtle's legs and tail moving, that's just nerve action in the muscles, once the head of the turtle is decapitated, the turtle is dead, but the muscles can still react for quite a while after the animal is dead, especially in reptiles. That's why you may have heard of a snake's head still biting even though it is apart from the body. "Muscle memory" may stay for quite a while, that's why you still see movement after the turtle is dead.

[@ricktalbott9611]

Grandpa did a wonderful job !!

[@joysteward8785]

Oh I miss my Daddy and my Papa this was great 👍 ty for sharing this tradition with us. I'm from Eastern Kentucky mountains and this is the way we did it long time ago.

[@GraveKeeperDeath]

Old One Eye the Turtle! What an awesome intro. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@j-rocd9507]

My dad used to do this. He died when I was 6 so I lost so much knowledge but still got a lot in that time.

[@catfishinpappy1591]

Great video ! 👍🏼 My Grandpa used to make wind chimes using turtle shells. The were cool and actually musical.

[@christenastachowski2880]

Your turtle soup looks so good.😋

[@lukehurley6922]

I wish it was later on in the year so I could pick the vegetables out of my garden to follow your recipe I came across this video while looking for a recipe to follow so I could cook my own turtle that I just caught out of my buddies Lake

[@happyscrappy370]

Beautiful family!

[@tommyteamer9037]

I love to see family have a good time

[@fernandoherrera9962]

“”””Wow Wow Wow”””” my family and I enjoyed your video so much! Hugs to your grandpa!

[@terryqueen3233]

You know of course I'm not subscribed to you and I hope you read this since it was a year ago and I certainly hope that Grandpa is still there. I wish that my grandpa was still here I'm a grandpa of my own self and teaching my grandkids I know is as just enjoyable to him as it is to me but I do have to say one thing enjoy him enjoy him as much as you possibly can because one day he won't be there and I hope he's still there now.

[@goatitisful]

I live right near your grandpa's town of South milwaukee. I didn't know how many snappers there were this far north.

[@samuelrodriguez9673]

Awesome Grandpa ❤👍💯

[@jimmiehenry9900]

Great job pops

[@hughoneal1313]

Love it, you are blessed to have this time with your grandfather

[@johnemery9634]

A big one up north mn last year was 56 pounds. It went back. They kept a 39 pounder.

[@sgtjarhead99]

Now that is one hearty looking stew. Congrats on Grandpa finally beating his old nemesis "One eye". Speaking for myself, I might have let him go once I've beaten him, as he's an old warrior whose earned my respect. "Might" anyway :)

[@weavaman2216]

Grandpa is a hoot!!

[@larrycresse753]

Good video of a great grandfather

[@jimmiehenry9900]

Good job 👍

[@jeffschroeder7910]

Great video guys! Love the family love! From a fellow Wisconsin boy

[@charliesommers9599]

Down here in Tennessee we hillbillies used to drive on country roads in the spring and catch the snappers that were migrating from one pond to another. We got plenty of them and liked to boil the pieces until tender then flour and fry them.

[@johnmartens2434]

God bless your family my gramps did the same for our family those were good old days.

[@ricktimmons458]

[@joycemetheny8338]

My late husband was a commercial fisherman , he caught one that was twice as big as oneye... he lives in the Memphis zoo now.

[@kevinhoffman8214]

good job , thanks grandpa

[@chrissinni8049]

Nice job.

[@caseynickolson5873]

Hay nice catch but next time try cleaning it out in fresh water in a 55 gallon barrel for 3 or 4 weeks it will clean out all the mud taste and try putting a garden hose down it neck and wrapping a wire around the hose and neck and flip on shell and turn on water slow when the water shoots out its ass he is done lt pulls the meat away from the skin and open fire it makes it taste better as well i do it all the time

[@robertcampbell3900]

Looks like a good video. Just wish I could hear it

[@douglassavag587]

Awesome awesome

[@shanakaachintha2605]

Good family

[@jamescurry9593]

Remember on the tail when y'all cut it, cut the tail open and remove the sack from it if you didn't just a reminder nice catch and clean plus the steaw

[@susantaft7599]

Proof that some people will eat just about anything because they have no plate.

[@sandmanbub]

Whoop!

[@apocalypsehellfireblackhea1874]

Wow 😋😋😋 Awesome People Who Eat Snapping Turtles Long Life Chinese People Love To Cooked Snapping Turtles 😋😋😋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️ Delicacies 👍👍👍 Deliciousa.....

[@oldironsides4107]

“Get outta here! You’re kidding me!” Legend.

[@roytallow6784]

That’s one eye ! GV ! 👁🐢🚫

[@hillbilly4christ638]

I used to chop off their head with an axe when they tried to roll over. Now I just step on their tail, grap the snout with a pair of pliers and cut the head off with a knife. It is much cleaner and neater. Now grab the feet with pliers and chop off the feet, that way you don't have fight with the claws while cleaning. Love that turtle meat!

[@sevenjohn9565]

The white meat is the chicken and the dark meat is the beef.

[@aaronlandry6461]

🤤🍲
