...we also had a regular snapping turtle we'd see every year. At least I think it was the same one, because every year we'd go to this dock and this gargantuan snapper(probably about 25-35 pounds at least) would try and get pieces of hot dog off our fishing lines. Unfortunately....some dumb@$$ caught him and put him in a parking lot a coupld hundred feet from the lake. As I'm typing this....I feel extreme anger towards that person....cuz that turtle was the best. My brother and I would catch sunfish/bluegills/pumpkinseeds/whatever you wanna call them and I'd put them on my hook and he'd swim up and rip them off the hook. One time it got in a "fight" with a five pound bass(yes they exist in NJ....but rare in this lake) over a sunny on my line. The snapper eventually chased off the monster fish.
