I was fishing with my brother in law Dwayne and my nephew Brandon. We were after panfish in the channel behind my house. The morning started out rather cold and blustery, and the fish thought so too. Each one of us caught some fish but it was rather dismal.
I did have one rather interesting moment when my bobber slowly sank out of sight below the waters surface. This is typical in the way a crappie will take a minnow and that is what I thought was on the other end. A hook set and a few cranks of the reel handle revealed otherwise. To my surprise was a very agitated painted turtle being pulled through the water against its will. To my relief it came unbuttoned as I attempted to pull it into the boat. I do believe this is the first turtle ever for me.
