That's pretty cool.
Where at? Those are pretty rare to find, last one I saw was about 20 years ago
First...Rule #1 on the wife, OP.
Second, have her grab it by the tail to see, if in fact, it is a snapping turtle variety.
Three, report results back to TexAgs.

Have her call this guy.
Update. That thing was tiny. This is on a normal size dust pan
She returned it to the water and it swam away
Finally, Rule 1. Cast netting some bait like a boss

Crazy, I haven't seen one in years. They are endangered outside of Texas and Louisiana As I understand it.
Also, I wish I could cast a net that well. I'm terrible at it.

But one day!
I think that's a common snapping turtle. Doesn't look like it has the ridges, and head looks more rounded.
Agreed.....it's a common snapping turtle.
Yeah, common snapper.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.
