Turtle caught!
« on: August 15, 2012, 03:46:45 PM »
  @O@@O@  The shell is about 10-12 inches long. I put a yardstick down in the pot next to it so you get an idea of the size of it's head! Now to move it on to greener waters.  @O@ No sign of the blue heron today either!   @O@

Look at the tail on that beast! Glad you got it out of the pond. Any interesting stories about catching it? Have you seen Call of the Wild Man..aka Turtleman?  ;D

I used a bamboo pole, a fishing line, a hook, and a piece of a hot dog? :) You can guess the rest.  {:-P;; @O@
