RE: anyone here eat turtles?
I had an odd thing happen today. I caught a turtle on a small Repala Floating Minnow. It definitely was trying to eat it - it wasn't snagged. I caught a crappie on the cast before and casted to the same spot. A few turns of the reel later I thought I had snagged on a log or something. When the log gave way I was reeling in a good sized turtle. It wouldn't let go or else it was hooked. Either way, the lure was firmly in the turtle's mouth. When I finally got it to shore it just spit it out and backed back into the water. Anyone ever experience anything like that before?
