Caught and Released a Snapping Turtle and Two Catfish!

Fished Bethany Lakes in the early evening.  Things started out slow with the main activity being Ducks!  Had a few nibbles but nothing solid.  Then, got a nice strike that turned out to be a Snapping Turtle!  More nibbles and missed hooksets, then hooked and landed a Bruiser Catfish that went 20.5" in size. Released it, and then soon after caught a smaller Catfish.  Closed out the trip watching more Ducks (that is Ducklings); posted the Bruiser on the Team's Leader Board!

  1. for me it would be weird to snag a turtle since we really don't have them here. Cool video

  2. Thanks Dustin! There are bunch in the ponds and lakes here. This one took the bait but was a light nibble. Reeled in and thought I snagged bottom.
