Odd catch yesterday

[lakelurker]

Great story! They can also be real prolblems with stringers also. About two years ago My wife,daughter and I were out on a local lake that is stocked with trout. Well needless to say we were doing pretty good, and we were deciding to take a few home with us so I started keeping the better ones on a chain stringer, off the side of the boat. The fish were quite active after I put them on the stringer,or so I thought! About a half an hour later the chain started to rattle a bit and I never gave it a thought. A few minutes later more rattling,so I went to pick up the stringer of rainbows only to find resistance on the other end. After a quick battle of tug of war I lifted a snapper up right to the side of the boat only to find him grinning with one of the last full rainbows in his mouth. He let loose and my daughter with great dissappointment wondered if I could bait the next rod for turtle! We managed to catch a few more to suppress my daughters will to kill the next turtle she saw and she calmed down after I explained to her turtles have to eat too![crazy]
