One time, a couple of my fishing buddies and I rented a boat on a
nice, small bass pond - guy in the
stern caught a 2-lb. LM, which
I put on a stringer and tossed
over the side ! Ten minutes later,
the other buddy boats a slightly
bigger bass - when I reached
over the rail to retrieve the stringer,
it seemed heavier than
I remembered - when I looked over
the side to find the problem, there
was a snapping turtle trying to
steal that first bass, and it barely missed taking the tips of two
fingers with it ! After that, I made
it a point to always 'look before
you reach' !
Better your bait than your fingers ! br One time,... (

This was way back in the '80s, so
not too sure of the name - it was
down in the Kingston/Plaistow
area, about 40 minutes S/E of Manchester, so it may have been
either Long Pond or Powwow
Pond !
I believe N.H. was (and still is)
your (former) neighbor to the
north, so YES ! - It was somewhere
in New England !

Yeah, I kinda suspected New England... It's where I've seen the most Snapping Turtles... They can be right dangerous animals. I didn't really get "left with" any great desire to eat more, after my 1st bowl of turtle soup, the 1 and only time I had any, so; I pretty much just try to leave those rascals alone.
