We know I have fast hands when it comes to catching turtles, but now Granny? Yes! And with a nice two-hander sized painted turtle!
Today it was me behind the oars on a lake here in Wisconsin. It’s a big lake with few places for turtles but right after Granny snatched a pike from some lilies on my 6-weight, we spotted this painted turtle sunning. Granny said don’t bother him but you know I couldn’t resist and instead of me I put her on duty. She did good! Honestly, I think making animals more aware of how dangerous we humans really are, the better. Next time he’ll retreat sooner than later from perhaps from someone not so kind to take a photo and release.
Granny and I fished a couple lakes today. It wasn’t anything serious but more of a relaxation day checking out a few new places. It’s been a great June with a few more fishing days to come.
Looks like Granny is feeling much better, glad to hear that! So much local fishing to get after!
Thanks Kevin – yea she’s good to go again!
