Figured out the culprit… #8583992 03/16/26 08:37 PM 03/16/26 08:37 PM

I’m trapping nutria in the same spot right now and I had a chewed up one today. In the conibear right next to it I had about a 15 lb snapping turtle by the flipper. I’m guessing he was the culprit. In my mind the mystery is solved…

They don't much time to make a big mess (or to bring out my inner Roy D. Mercer) What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded. Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

I used to keep a holding car up under my pier back when I ran lines. Grew to hate snappers. I had one of those mesh baskets hanging off my dock with some sunfish in it overnight. I'm sure it was a snapper who chewed a hole in the basket trying to get at the fish in it. Most of them got out. You know you're old when you walk past a rest room and think, as long as I'm here........
