A couple weeks ago I caught a 20 pound snapper in my backyard. My 6yr old Lab decided it was something his nose told him he should investigate... his nose paid the price.

I gave it to a friend of my neighbor. He told me he keeps them in his bathtub for roughly a month before butchering. According to him, this time in clean fresh water is necessary to flush out the turtle.

Cheers
Marcus
