This would have been a legal keep i guess but I wasn't about to measure !Lol! Instead I got my Bear Grylls knife out and cut the braided line.I have never eaten Turtle but a Native American at a Pow Wow once told me thee are 7 cuts of meat .I am assuming he meant 4 legs,Tail ,Neck and meat under the shell.

Comment by Jeff Soto on August 15, 2017 at 11:26pm: We've got too many turtles in my lake. If you use bait, especially live worms, you'll catch a turtle. They are mostly Red Sliders that people release when as pets, they get too big.
