    Did you hook him in the mouth?? LOL... I remember fishing a pond up north once and was using dragon flies for bait and this big old turtle kept coming after them. Luckily I could see it coming most of the time and reel up before it clamped on.
    "Did you catch anything".........."No, did you"........

    "Hey man, mind if I fish here?"....."Yes"...."Thanks man!"

    What did you do? Remove the hook or just cut it off? I guess it would depend on the type of turtle. Not sure I want to put my fingers anywhere near the mouth of some species.
