Fishing Information

I was fishing with my wife in our lake and kept feeling a tap with every cast. I was telling my wife, "I am definitely catching this one, I just have to annoy it enoough to get him to strike" Well on the 3rd or 4th cast I hooked it and WOW it felt HUGE. I was reeling it in and it felt like a VW Bug and was struggling. When I got it to the surface I saw to my astonishment, a HUGE over 2 foot diameter Snapping turtle hooked on my lure. Just as I was wondering how I was going to unhook this monster, he spit out the lure and swam away.

Personal Background

I am married and my wife and I fish almost every day on the lake where we live.

I started fishing at around the age of 4 or 5 with my father.

I work in computer technical support.

Boat Information

Boat name: Old Faithful
IT is a 14 foot rowboat. I have a Minn Kota trolling motor and my favorite accessory is my anchormate hand crank anchor 'reel'. That thing is awesome. My wife and I use zebco reels because they are easy and maintenance free and our primary goal with fishing is relaxation and FUN not competition. Although every time we go out we compete against each other.
