Way to go bro.
Some of the lakes around my area have the little Red Eared Slider Turtles. Once in awhile I will hook one on accident. They only get about the size of a frisbee but they have the attitude of the Manhole Cover sized ones that you caught. lol.
When I am fishing for specifics in that lake, I will use a higher carbon hook just in case I need to cut the line. The hook will rust out in just over a week. Those same hook I can use in saltwater fishing. They will rust out in 3 days.[cool]
