You know this could be a female. There was a colloc on turtles not long ago near my place. And the biologists said that some female turtles have clitoris that can be as long as our little finger!
lololol
well never wanted to see it so I will take his word for it.
:-p

Nice turtle.  I think it IS female, as the vent (is it vent in turtles?) is closer to the body than to the end of the tail. You just went out and caught him wild? Its a big one.

Good work Siretsap and Oliverian, it is indeed a female
It is very common, especially with snapping turtles, to evert when they get excited. If you had a male there, you would definately know. They have enormous organs, and thus large visible bulges in the tail.....
That surely is a good sized girl!

Great catch. I happen to be a big snapper fan. I've caught a 10" specimen before, and I do wish I was wearing gloves. It's not the bite that I was afraid of, because I was holding it properly, but I those claws were really a pain.
Once you get those things up, they try to scratch, too
