They can move extremely quickly in water or on land. In fact, they are probably the fastest turtles on land and much harder to catch than a snapping turtle - believe it or not they are even more vicious than a snapper and will even kill fish after they are gorged leaving them to rot. I doubt that even in a crystal clear pond the turtleman would be able to keep up with one and catch it without a net as there is no long tail to grab.

It is not recommended because soft shell turtles have little protection, and seem to have a "bite me" sign on them. If you do happen to get another turtle, you would have to do plenty of babysitting.
There are two ways, you can tell visually by seeing if there is any sign of wrinkles on the shell, and if you cant tell visually, then just lightly poke the shell. If it gives way a little bit, you know it has a soft shell.
