Last fall I caught a BIG turtle while in my kick boat and he was NOT happy. Neither was I, but the fly was saved! Our bluegill lake has huge alligator turtles in it and they stalk people in kick boats!
Years ago it was a big seagull!....on a 6" floating rapala!...He came "swooping" down just as I made my cast....All I can say is those guys are strong!....Lol!....I lost my favorite walleye Rapala to him and 75' of line!....
