Hey Dave,
Sounds like quite an adventure! I hooked something huge the other day on a jig and minnow under a bobber. I tugged, it tugged back! I tugged harder, my drag clicked away, so I tightened it since I had my 30 lb line on at the time. I tugged some more and again, it tugged back!
Finally, I got it into plain sight! It was a little painted turtle, shell about 5 inches wide. The thing didn't wanna let go until I pulled him out of the water completely. Then he dropped with all the weeds I was uprooting!
