      @@addo2419 it differs per state but a lot of places have laws about fishing with certain species, like if its considered harmful/invasive it's actually illegal to re-release that fish after catching it, and you have to kill it. He states in the vid its fish he caught for bait prior and he has a lot of excess, which could have happened for a variety of reasons. It seems like he travels a lot to fish, so bringing bait across the border one way might be illegal or hard to transport without getting rotten, so he may have got more bait fish in that other state and been able to bring some back, or perhaps he used minnow traps and ended up with a bunch of invasive species and had to kill them based on the law. Or maybe he had plans to use most of that bait in future fishing trips, and they got cancelled due to corona or something. Regardless, it's a much better use of it to give it to wildlife and make very cool educational content with it, rather than throwing it out

    That last clip of the snapping turtle may be worth writing up as a Natural History Note for Herpetological Review. I'm a turtle biologist and I can't recall ever seeing evidence of a snapping turtle scavenging on terrestrial food items like that. It would potentially happen in normal circumstances if there was a fish kill and dead fish washed up on the bank. Really cool!

      @@TheAgentAssassin it probably happens quite a lot, but getting proof on video like this is rare. A lot of common basic behaviors never get recorded scientifically due to the lack of objective evidence and the process of peer review.
      Where it gets important is that some aquatic turtle species in the world are suction feeders (like a bass) and physically can't eat in air as opposed to water.

A second time I left it on the counter at a tackle shop and the woman at the cash register saw it and put it aside.

    Watching the snapping turtle devour the food was incredible.

Not only that, they are gluttonous and opportunistic, so it took its chance to be a glutton and ate all of the food.

    The Heron dipping the fish in the water is what they commonly do before they swallow a fish. The purpose of it dipping the fish in the water was not to rinse off the sand but to get the fish wet so it will slide down their long throat easier. Even when it’s a fish the catch themselves, the will usually dip it in the water a couple times and the swallow it head first, both for the same reason, getting the fish down easier. Often the will take a drink of water right after swallowing to also help to get the meal down.

    While you said it was decent of those ol boys to not steal your camera, I would have been far more surprised if they had. Real outdoorsmen like them generally respect others property and boundaries. They’re also smart enough to know that if you have one camera that they can see, there’s a really good chance there are others that they don’t see. They’re happy enough to just be outside enjoying that beautiful water and the sun and fresh air.

    The heron at 9:30 was dipping the fish into the water to help itself be able to eat/swallow the fish. Usually when freshly caught alive, the scales have a light oily or slimy coating, which helps the bird swallow the fish. These have been frozen then dried out in the air, so the bird is helping make the fish able to be eaten.

    I’ve seen odd black bear behavior like that as well. I have 225 acres in Marion county (north central Florida) with a high population of black bears. When I put a new deer corn feeder adult black bears will only walk past it the first few nights. It’s weird, almost like they are pretending they don’t see it but they obviously do since their nose lead them right to the feeder.
    After a few nights the bears basically inhale the feeder.

    I'm surprised by the bear(s) ignoring the fish. Back in the 90s partly opened sardine cans spaced 1 kilometer apart were used for bear population estimates. I've seen long lines (12 kilometers long) where a bear hit every can. Wish we had trail cams back then.

      Also that turtle was very cautious. As a kid we used to have to watch our stringer of fish cause a snapper would come right to the boat and start chomping away. I remember even lifting the stringer in the air and the snapper not letting go. Good times lol

    As the day went on, you could see the tide getting higher. The turtle was almost allowing the tide to bring him closer to the food till all he had to do was reach his head out of the water just slightly. Smart and patient little guy.
    Wonder if he didn’t start to smell it till the water got closer to the fish
