Had a near run-in with a snapper when I was about 15. I had on heavy rubber gloves and was setting muskrat traps. He thought my hand looked good so he nailed my thumb. (I hadn't seen him in the muddy water). My reflex pulled my thumb out of his jaws but left the rubber glove. I got him out of the hole he was in and stopped the argument with 6 ea. 38 spc. slugs in the head and back. Scared the he-- out of me.
