Cool!! im no turtle expert so i wont even bother saying what i think u should do with it..
But up in massachusetts where i fish during the summer the turtle population has gotten out of hand. every single cast you get a hit from a turtle. If your fishing with shiners, you reel them up only to find the lips still on the hook. I started bringing a sling shot and shooting them when the surface... I HATE TURTLESS!!!!! ever been wading and had a 50 pound turtle surface right next to you?? SCARY SH!##
