Show transcript0:03They think I'm crazy, but they can't help but like me.0:09I'll see if I can stir up one here.0:16Got one.0:24How you doing on our show?0:27He's smiling for you now.0:31Look for bubbles. If you ain't got no bubbles, you can't catch them because you can't see them.0:35I might find a bullfrog or two. Fish attack, plus, uh, maybe a snake.0:42Or typhoid or...0:43Nah, it'd be, uh, water snakes.0:45Whatever deep that mud is, that's how deep you got digging.0:48And I'm standing on his back, and he's bouncing me up and down.0:51I'm not doing this. He's trying to get me off. So I got to find his head with my foot.0:57That's the hard part. Once you find his head,1:01you just reach down and...1:09Woo! Now, when you came out of the water, you made a little, uh, noise there.1:12What was that?1:13Oh, that's the rebel Indian yell there. That's their yell every time you catch something.1:17That's your, uh...1:17Let me hear that, let me hear that.1:20You got to do that little cry there, you know, it gives you that power, you know,1:23Yeah.1:23where you can catch another one.1:24Now, you got Indian in you?1:25Yeah, I got a quarter Shawnee and a, a quarter, uh, Cherokee.1:30Yeah.1:30Yeah. And the other quarter is a white man, that's a Yankee and, you know, Union, and the other quarter is a, a Confederate.1:40Well, there's two of them. And they don't even like each other.1:47This is a male, I think, because he's got a dense shell.1:50Mm-hmm.1:50Don't ever trust them. Sometimes they can jump, see there? Let's hit another pond.1:56I think we emptied it. I don't see no, no signs of life. I don't have no horns, so I just do this.2:02That's the way I do it. Me and my dad and Uncle Philip, we went turtle hunting one day when I was 7 years.2:10He put me on a turtle's back to show me what to look for in the bubbles.2:13He got me out there, I was 7 years old. Took me an hour to get him out, and ever since then I've been hooked.2:19So June to October 9th, I'm after him. Yeah.2:25Got one fighting me out here.2:29Most in a year I ever caught is 333.2:3355, biggest one I ever. He's right out your boot right now, I'll sneak it up on you.2:39Sorry, I had to grab him, man. Whoa!2:46I saw you in trouble. He was gonna snap him.2:52Saved the cameraman. Woohoo!2:56Been bit 17 times, like a pair of vice grips, and they cut hard, hard and deep.3:02I try not to smile because I got my teeth knocked out by a chainsaw.3:08Woo!3:12There's no telling what's in that pot.3:26Woo! Get out of there!3:30Man, he was a fighter. Well, I get my test every year, so, so far they said I was a perfect man.3:38Ah! Yay, yay!3:43No way I'd do what he's doing.3:44Right there, when I do that, that's a kind of like a, a bead I got, like a aim, and when I aim like that, I'm looking for bubbles, like bubble trails.3:52Like one takes off, I can pick him up and get on him where I won't lose him.4:04He's dragging me. See, he's dragging me?4:07Yeah.4:08I ain't doing this, he's doing this.4:21Woo!4:26Woo!4:30Snapperlicious.4:33Woo! Good eating. Yeah, you can see I'll get steak and tenderloin here and probably beef there, and this is roast back here.4:43So they say they have 7 different kinds of meat, is that true?4:45Yes, 7 different kinds, yes, sir. That's true. Got fish in the neck there.4:56I don't drink or do drugs or smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco.4:59This is my hobby.5:00Can't ask no better.5:07It did.5:09Ah!5:10Woo!5:12Woo!5:13Really unusual.5:16Not many like him around.5:17I said it just ain't for football. The Gatorade is for the Turtle Man.5:31And I'm Kentucky's best kept secret. Woo!
