What is it???

[Pete B]

I was in the Lakeland , Florida area yesterday shooting some planes. In a retention pond in front of me there where several turtles, then the following creature stuck its head above the water, at first I thought maybe a baby gator, then in the second pic, its body surfaced, dont know what the hell it is. Any clues??

[TEAMBAJA]

Holy sh*t thats wild! My first guess would be some kind of huge snake.

Otherwise, Id say a pig f*cked a hippo and had babies!:ack2:

[Sea-Dated]

[Ms Shoot2thrill]

[Sydwayz]

My guess is a medium sized snake with a small pig inside of it. All the fat in the pig would lean to the buoyancy of the snake's middle section.

Deep fried w/ some garlic!!!!:ack2:

[old377guy]

[phragle]

[SkaterGirl]

I don't think the thing in your pic looks like that turtle... it's close but I'm still leaning on the crazy big snake idea

I agree, look at the length of that critter in those original pix!!!:confused:

[inbetween]

That's one long a** turtle, if that's what it is. Looks tasty though.

[TEAMBAJA]

Maybe it was one turtle following another?

[Davidmnc]

I don't care what it is............I don't want to swim with it

[Pete B]

IF you google soft shell turtle, it will give all the details.

[phragle]

[Madpoodle]

We have a soft shel that suns on the turtle board in my backyard that makes that one look like a pup.. Those suckers get huge down here...

[Mark]

Looks like a weird pee pee with eyes. We have one around our dock in Florida. I've cought him two times. Had to grab the hook with pliers and shake him off.

[YankeY]

My buddy with the State of FL now thinks I am a total moron for asking, not that it is wrong or anything
