Painted Turtle (10-12-13)
Caught this painted turtle while bouncing a little crappie tube along the bottom. It was the biggest one I've seen or caught. Around here they normally don't get too big, this one's shell was probably about 10" long. I broke my hook trying to get it out of his mouth, tough little guy.

Great catch. Looks like it escaped the turtle soup dilemma.
