You know, you have got a good one there I received a similar experience some twenty-five years ago when I first moved to commerce lake.<br><br>Fishing until after dark with a steal clip stringer I found that I could get five fish on a clip. When I decided to call it a day I pulled up my stringer and found ten fish thirty heads and bare clips that would have held another 50 fish.<br><br>Looking in to the water next to my boat I saw the head of the biggest snapper turtle I had ever seen in my life, big as a muskmelon it was.<br><br>It turned away from me and went down, but not before showing me his backside. His shell was bigger around than a fifty-five gallon drum.<br><br>I opened my clips and gave him the rest of my catch. That was one hungry turtle. <br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>Lookie See what the kids are up to.<br>Dave T. Clown
