I know the cajun guys we sold snappers to liked them pretty big...
Having read the book "Survive the Savage Sea" I understand the meat to weight ratio is low...
We used to go barefoot in the "coulee" (county ditch) and when we felt might be a turtle shell we reached down, sometimes having to hold our breath and submerge our head to grab it... How I still have 10 fingers and 10 toes is a mystery to me
just one more attempt at a darwin award I guess but me made lots of money bootleggin' turtles and venomous snakes...
