Turtles tales
#1
so my girlfriend decides at 2pm that she wants to go to the park 2 go for a walk..... HEH! im tired and i say i aint going unless were fishing..... she responded with fine then im taking Bridgette(her dog) so the agreement was made and off we went nothing great happend when we got there i left the fishing Equipment in the car so we could go for a walk/hike w-e (mainly to tire out the dog) and we go off onto this little dock walk they have out there (the total walk was probably 700ft or so there and back to the car) and i see alot of smaller fish just pan fish though so were feeding these fish with the dog treats she brought along and outta no where 2 big oscars come up and start chasein the other fish away, then a bass comes along and takes the food and thats the end of it lol, now it was a nice size bass i was actually shocked to see it so we went back to the car got the stuff and walked back out to the docks and i procedded to bait my hook with..... yes dog treats...... well im now just letting the dog treat sit off in the water dangleing just off the edge of a lilly pad..... the water is fairly clear and i can see the bait but i take my eyes off of it for a second and when i turn back i cant see it so im thinking hey i just got dooped for some bait so i start to reel in my line and it was a bit heavy so i figured eh a lilly pad so i tug on it a bit harder and up comes this big snaper turtle the thing was about 20lbs head was as round as a baseball if not bigger tail was about 1.5 foot long and it was just a mean thing......well at about this time some little kids with there parents come up and the parents to the kids are some real nice city people.... "Just cut the line let him deal with the hook it'll fall out in a few days..." now me being raise no to let any animal suffer for you mistakes am sayin "nah it wont its set in there im gettin this turtle free if i gotta go in the water to do it" (mind you there wasent a SINGLE person around untill this happened)so as im leaning over this peir i have my girlfriend holding the rod so i can try and get to the hook with my plyers.... the turtle decides eh i had enough of this and kicks the hook out of its mouth with its paw,leg,foot,flipper, lol w-e u call it.... ne-ways i stopped after that cause the city folk started to annoy me with questions about how it was hooked "well how'd you hook it ....." i wanted to do a bill engval heres your sign joke right there and say "well he asked me how the bait taste and i told him to take a bite." but i refrained and just said it bit the hook..... so thats the most recent fishin tale heres a link to what is looked like its inbtween both of these sizes [url "http://www.dnr.sc.gov/fish/fwfi/images/chelydraserpentinaandrew.jpg"]http://www.dnr.sc.gov/fish/fwfi/images/chelydraserpentinaandrew.jpg[/url]
