How NOT to catch a Soft Shell Turtle by the hands!

Spending the weekend at a friend’s place and was feeding the catfish when I was offered this opportunity to fail at capturing a soft-shell turtle using my hands. Fairly humorous video, though in hindsight I wish I had befriended him a bit more.

This is a Smooth Soft-Shelled Turlte – Apalone mutica

Note: He did stick around for a few more hours and wasn’t very shy. He must have taken the interaction lightly… or the bread was just too much of a temptation.
