Feather tail turtle? OR, is that grass on the back hook? Everything else looks good though.

I've seen turtle lures catch bass, but they were slightly larger than a buzz frog. I'm not buying that lure caught a bass until I see video, either.
And I've seen thousands of turtles where I catch bass and never seen a bass look at a turtle even the ones bass could easily eat. I'm sure they eat them, just like everything else, but I'm not convinced it's a numbers bait.

for some reason I believe it. Something a long time ago got me to thinking that bass would hit a turtle lure and I still do. That turtle lure looks mighty big in the pic.

I have seen baby red ear sliders in the guts of blue catfish I used to catch out of a small neighborhood lake. I have seen up to 5 half dollar size turtles in one catfish.

Bass will occasionally eat rather small turtles if the opportunity presents itself but larger turtles are a no-go. They frantically scrape the basses throat and wedge themselves in a position that typically allows them to escape. I call B.S. on that picture.

The picture is legit, I came across this video the other day. The guy looks like he's messing with a guarding bass and finally pissed it off enough to bite the turtles tail. The fish was probably not trying to eat the bait more so than just "scare it away". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQiLxerlBns&sns=em
