I had a long length of para cord tied to the stringer when this incident happened :o
Since I put the stringer out, I caught a ration of S**t from my partners!
The only bright spot was that since I did most of the fishing, and ALL the catching, they really didn't have a right to complain.
I had never even considered that the Q had turtles that size, I had never seen( or really looked) for snappers that far north.
Now I see them every trip and realize just how huge they can get.
I never would of believed a turtle could get to those Waldo's with that long of leash, but the snapper believed otherwise :'(
