So this soft shell turtle comes up and watches me then swims off. I didn't see him for awhile but I was still casting in the other direction to where he swam. I guess he swam over to where I was casting and went for my bait. I fought him for 20 minutes, got him to shore, but he dug his flippers into the dirt and just wouldn't stop fighting. I started to go towards the shore to attempt unsnagging him but the little faggot broke my jighead off right when I was near him. It looked like it was in the shell and not the mouth.
I was on my ultralight with 6lb brain with a 1/16oz jighead.
I did all I could do.
I'm sorry big guy, I was so close to being able to help you. I don't know what else I could've done. If I brought my net, I MAYBE could've got him inside and unhooked him. I don't know, I had the thousand yard stare the whole walk back to the house. I feel pretty bad about it.
