Been kind of busy and just realized I forgot to post this one. He was pretty aggressive so I didn’t take the time to measure him. Going to be back on the bank tonight hopefully.

Charlie caught two turtles. Nothing has been biting. He done walked home and gave up. I’m staying until I catch something at least.

This was odd. Couldn't tell what was trying to swim away on the line for a minute. Eventually brought it close enough and netted it in. It got hooked onto its shoulder somehow. Easily got it off and put back
