Not the big one I thought - BustemBaits - 04-06-2012 This bait Landed me this [signature] Re: [BustemBaits] Not the big one I thought - theangler - 04-06-2012 LOL, Don't you hate it when that happens!!! [signature] Re: [theangler] Not the big one I thought - BustemBaits - 04-06-2012 Yes I was pissed. What really made me even more mad was 5 cast later I lost a 5lb large mouth bc the damn turtle shell weakened my line. Pretty much my fault bc I didnt check the line before my next cast but it never even crossed my mind.

If you haven't done it you should. It has a chicken/alligator taste with a crayfish flavor. Good food right there. The softies are better tasting than the snappers. edit: Paulpro I posted without scrolling down... us southern boys know good food when we see it huh? That's some good turtle soup! [signature]
