2 years ago I was fishing with some friends at Silver Lake. I was on a dock and they were on shore about 40 feet away and they caught a fish. I ran over there to check it out.

I then looked over at dock, my pole was bent all the way over and about to snap. I was like HOLY ****! Ran over there and starting realing in and it just kept tugging under the dock.

I finally saw a dark figure come up...it was a freaking huge turtle. I was so frightened as I never saw a turtle in there and it was siting there snaping at me when I was trying to unhook it. It bite once and I had to cut the line and throw it back as one guy said it was endangered species or something.

I have a history of catching turtles. I caught quite a few down in Arkansas last summer when at grandparents ranch. They live on a river and I went fishing like every day and caught a lot of snapping turtles. Those things are mean!
