We had some in our farm lake when I was a kid. Some pretty dang big ones, too ... they are ugly.

They can also be fast and vengeful.
I went bow fishing with a friend when we were kids, and found one. Without saying anything he shot an arrow through the turtle.
The turtle looked up, made eye contact, and then charged at a speed faster than I thought they could move.
The arrow didn't seem to slow him down, just pissed him off.
Lucky for us, he couldn't climb a steep hill we ran up, so we got away.
But I learned to not fuck with turtles.

Yeah, I had a few incidents myself as a kid. They are mean as hell.
