[QUOTE="Bourbon Neat, post: 460239, member: 37727"] This is the largest "common snapping turtle" I have encountered, ever. In this image, the body is visible beneath the water. Most of the voters know what they were seeing. My first thought was a beaver that got hit with an ugly stick, but those eyes are a give away. Was very near a beaver lodge and had seen some fresh timber falls. The neck on that thing is huge, got a fleeting glimps.
