Holy Cow that is a beautiful snapper!! Great picture!
the picture is kind of deceiving. He looks smaller than he actually is. From the front of the shell to the back of the shell he was about 20 inches. This is as close as I was willing to get using my 18-55mm zoom. it's head was about the size of a baseball if not bigger.
Grate shot look at that face!
