Eric, did you happen to get a bodyweight on that otter? That's a very impressive catch and wild that it was your first one ever.

Thanks man, yeah he is still in the freezer, one of these days. I did just get some of these 440 RGBs, and HOLY (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). These things could crush a bear, although I will say the springs on them were easier to set than I thought, but I might just be used to setting the conibear springs at this point. Hopefully I can follow up with some more otter or beaver action, although these (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) beaver are either smart because i'm dumb, or beaver are just naturally smart, IDK probably the first one!

tofan really nice catch ,they are something when you walk up and see it in your trap. I have taken a couple over 30 lbs with my largest tipping the scale at 35. Here is two from this season 27 lbs and 30 . I have eaten a couple of my first to say I gave it a go. Cut the backstraps off and fried with salt and pepper. Wasn't much flavour and kinda stringy . IF I was hungry I wouldn't hesitate to eat another one. Again congrats on the catch .

I saw a roadkill otter about this size back when I was studying in Valdosta. Dude was massive!
I picked that otter up and skint him. Wonder why no one else stopped and got him. Lol! I live 20 miles from Valdosta. Lots of otter around here ...and some bigguns too.
