I borrowed these images from Google. Snapper, Mudpuppy, Musky and Stinkpot. All common around the Great Lakes

Ahhhhhhh. For some reason I thought they were shipwrecks.

We are a destination dive. You are fortunate to live and dive in the land of the Mudpuppy and Musky. Find one of these and you'll know why I still enjoy diving around the Great Lakes. Throw in the Stink Pots and Snappers and it usually ends up being a dive that rivals the best. Plus we aren't far from Gilboa Quarry. I hate to admit it, it's fun and worth the drive.

Cheers

I was at Gilboa in October and was confused to see at least one dive shop from Ontario there. I definitely didn't like the "stairs of death."

Slippery when wet. And I have never seen the Paddlefish!

Stinkpots are common musk turtles. The snappers in question are common snappers, not to be confused with alligator snappers. Both species have a huge native range; I see them a lot walking along water bodies in southwestern Kentucky.
