Yep im thowing em back if im not eating them.
Ya i think they where the ones also messing up my baits& lines to at times to.
Just like the water turtles do at times. But its ok.
Last one that i let go wasnt hooked either- tho that one above was( he did break the line- but was halfway on shore by then& did almost get away.
