Wanted to share this photo of a very large Spiny Soft Shell Turtle we cpr'd after working it's way into our spread during a guided kayak fishing adventure, last week. This is one of the largest specimens I have ever personally witnessed in the wild.  Very cool creatures!

I hate those things. I can't tell you how many times I thought I had a monster fish on the line only to reel in a soft shelled turtle.

Hog nose turtle are awesome imo. There are a lot of them though.
Alligator Snappers are even cooler, cause they are so prehistoric looking.

Caught a softshell on a gitzit in a creek yesterday. Thought I had Toby there for a minute.
