Yup, Like reeling in a freighter. Was about the size of a trash can lid.

We were fishing for catfish in a brackish creek. I thought I had caught a grandaddy cat. When I pulled it in it was a soft-shelled turtle. Getting the hook out was scary. It's neck kept stretching and it's sharp-toed feed kept flailing. Scary stuff!

This small lake I was at seemed to have more turtles than fish. During slack times it was tempting to try and snag a turtle, but I didn't.

No, but my brother has. My dad caught a duck once.

I was bass fishing with my husband and brother-in-law in a strip pond.... big ole snapper grabbed my bait and I didn't know what I was going to do once I got it on shore... yelled for hubby and his brother... by the time they got up to me the turtle was right at the shore and snapped the line!

Strangest thing I ever caught was a chipmunk (photo). We were walking toward the river with our poles and I didn't notice that my line was dragging on the ground. I must have left a little bait on the hook, b/c the little guy spotted it and grabbed it. My dad unhooked the him and set him free. =====================
