Incorrect.
High numbers = low gear = high torque/low speed
Low numbers = high gear = low torque/high speed
40t axle sprocket with 10t clutch = 4:1 = high gear
80t axle sprocket with 10t clutch = 8:1 = low gear
High numbers = low gear = high torque/low speed
Low numbers = high gear = low torque/high speed
40t axle sprocket with 10t clutch = 4:1 = high gear
80t axle sprocket with 10t clutch = 8:1 = low gear

Ok so if I use a 72t axle sprocket with a 10t cluch on 16" tires I wont mess up a cluch and go anywhere I want. Any idea how fast ? Want to be able to go through sawgrass and mud without getting off and pushing.

That sounds reasonable; on 16s, you could probably drop the axle sprocket down to mid 60s & still be ok but, start with the 72t & see how you go...
According to our speed calculator 24mph @3600rpm but, it will go!
