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.
Last snapper I caught was 30 lbs and put me in the hospital with a hernia..took 30 min to get him in..I was in a 10 ft john boat,by myself,he went to the cattails( they are do if they are there)and yes..ate him..gave it up after that one..glad you turned it loose..caught em for 50 yrs..have fun!
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.
I love catching snappers. I also really love watching these kinda videos. I wish i lived in Louisiana and not Minnesota. Y'all are blessed to have such amazing wildlife that you can harvest. I'm 23 and grew up and still live in the sticks but dang son i wanna move out to Louisiana someday
I must say this is one of my favorite videos because it brings back awesome memories of turtles I used to catch we caught them up to a little over 120 lbs we've got quite a few hours of videos us camping and turtle fishing Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
man o man, my wife said don't use the good dishes, i tried a few of your recipes. she liked the final product but man she had a fit with the mess in her kitchen.
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!
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
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!
That snapping turtle was a bruiser. I looked it up and they’ve been around for 50 million years. I’d be curious to know how many folks in Louisiana have had an extremity nibbled on while wading in the swamps.
Hi Jared, love your videos. I come to St Bernard about once a month fishing. We are in Laurel Ms. Love the area but still learning my way around. Would love for you to hop in the boat with me and give me a tour.
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.
@@lizgibson5266 technically you're supposed to put it in water then it'll let go but I guess peeing on it would work

@@lizgibson5266How is peeing on your uncles head gonna make a turtle turn loose of him? 😂
We couldn’t fish together because those catfish would have to come home with me
I was thinking what a sin to throw back the cats to try to get a turla 😂😂😂
So cool of you to let that big gator snapper go free. I was worried you were going to make stew out of him. Lol. Congrats on the 100k plus subs.
Last snapper I caught was 30 lbs and put me in the hospital with a hernia..took 30 min to get him in..I was in a 10 ft john boat,by myself,he went to the cattails( they are do if they are there)and yes..ate him..gave it up after that one..glad you turned it loose..caught em for 50 yrs..have fun!

Nice to see that old Snapper. They are interesting creatures...
Looks like you number of subscribers has gone up another +1,000...congrats 👏
I absolutely love jug fishing. It is so much fun.
Saw one in Apalachicola that was big as a #2 wash tub. Big alligator snapper.
My wife and I were running our trots and harvested a 65 lb logger head and he was good eats in the Turtle stew .
That snapping turtle has a very strong bite. Good tonsee you and the boys and cuz Vinnie
Take care ❤
Where do you put all your info on the jugs with fishing license # and contact info? Mine keeps rubbing off.

I have no idea what turtle taste like. Good catch though. Thank you for releasing what you don't eat.
❤ wow nice turtles.😊

Isnt alligator snapper protected in Louisiana? Damn that things a beast. Nothing less i had one as a pet 😅
It's always good to see you and cuz out doing something
man o man, my wife said don't use the good dishes, i tried a few of your recipes. she liked the final product but man she had a fit with the mess in her kitchen.

I wonder if the fresh water fish n turtles n gators have high blood pressure problems from da salt in the water that they not used to 😂😂
Cajuns eat soft shell cut shell up with meat say good never tried it
Mantap mancingnya salam satu hobbi 🇮🇩💪❤️👍
Leave him alone and you got no problem with him😂😂 he is no demon people are..
All style meat snapper turtle fry it,make stew,soup fine eatting there
Good to see you respect federal law on endangered turtles. Several thousand $$ fine & jail time might wreck your channel.
That’s not a real thing. You can keep one per day in Louisiana. I chose not to think they should be released
How fast will your boat run? Looking into getting a similar rig.
Great Chanel 😊
We fixed a buddies racoon problem with the head off one of them.
Another great Thumbnail! nice

Snapping turtle soup is fantastic.
Haven't had the chance to try one as of yet. 16:19
Snapping turtle's good eating
I never ate turtle, who knows maybe one day !
I know the target was turtles, but damn what a fish fry ya"ll coulda had 🎉🎉🎉

How did you remove the hook out of that turtle?
Hey Jared ,I live in Chalmette and was wanting to Know where you buy Live mealworms.

Hi Jared, love your videos. I come to St Bernard about once a month fishing. We are in Laurel Ms. Love the area but still learning my way around. Would love for you to hop in the boat with me and give me a tour.
Need a collab with Beach Bum Outdoors guys soon! That would be a heck of a video.
A soft shell has one of the longest necks in the "turtulias snapperious" genus. Don't let one bight you. They won't let go until it thunders.👍🤣🤣🤣🤪
Good Bill Dance tribute
