We have lots of turtles in the lakes I fish in. When I fish for catfish many times it's a turtle grabbing my bait and going for a swim. More often than not I don't actually hook them, but I do occasionally reel one in. Last year I caught a snapping turtle whose shell was about 2 feet in diameter. It was a monster. Luckily it opened its mouth and the hook came flying out. They are fascinating creatures.
