One of my friends lives in the same apt building as me has a little one. not sure how old he is, it's about as round as a basball's diameber for size. nose to end of its tail is about the length of a dollar bill.

they are scary, look like dinosaurs

i would catch one and keep it. i cought a baby one when i was younger. it was only about the size of a silver dollar or so. i let it go in a local pond. the damn thing would be huge if it's still alive now.

We've got lots of those down here.

You don't want any part of one of those things. They could easily snap a bone in your arm no problem.

Yhea I have killed a few my self biggest ive ever seen is about 2 1/2 feet across the shell.

They get really mad when you catch them on a hook and pull it up out of the water.

I pulled a smaller one up ones and bout freaked out cause it looked like a huge frickin lobster claw, all i saw was the tail and i yelled for my cousin to bring me the gun so i could kill whatever the heck was on the other end of the line.
