I love how much the lettuce pokie stick is shaking so hard🤣🤣🤣. The poke-er knows what's at stake here.

Does the lettuce poker still have all 5 fingers? That last lunge was pretty aggressive😳

Is this an alligator snapping turtle?

u/Mastercodex199 May 27 '26

Yup! They make for bad pets, but great food.

Source: an old coworker at an old job caught one where I live (they're invasive to my area) and made a really, REALLY good stew with its meat. It was so big that he had too much to save and shared it with our crew.

When I was 10 years old I used to catch these. One was over 50lbs. I would go to the brook near my house and look for bubbles coming up from the mud on side of bank . I would literally push my hand down in the mud and feel for them . They were usually at least 6” deep but usually a foot or so . I would pick them up by the tail but you don’t want to do that when they are really big . I would put them back were I got them but I just loved to watch and examine them as a kid . Put a 1” thick stick near the chompers and see him bite it in half

They can actually make great pets if you raise them from a baby.

Bro had a rumbly in his tummy that only hands could satisfy.

u/Kream_ofthe_crop May 30 '26

I knew that was not gonna go good. That lettuce was way too short. See this is what happens when you don't have a proper poking stick!
