I think a bass gnawing on a turtle doesn't happen very often

it happens more then you think, they have a ton of amonia they produce, bass dont like it and eat the turtles just like a goldfish, they put off amonia and the bass go crazy over them, i used to have a baby turtle crankbait, it was pretty successful, but after a 7lb bass swallowed it, i didn't get it back...they work great in grassy lkes
just be careful i used to catch baby turtles and cut there tails off and hook them through the neck and toss em on the bottom caught a lot of big blue and yella cats

I'm out. I guarantee you a bass eats a shad, bluegill, or crawfish 70:1 over a Turtle. I will stick with probability

Ed Blackburn (my F-I-L) used to have a turtle crankbait that he used to swear by!
I'll bet that is a bad-azzed bait to put on a nest!

Seasonal bait for sure, assuming it's buoyant, if not a mistake by the mfg IMO. I'd modify it, at the bend of the legs I'd cut it off and take a razor blade and make 2 cuts between 1/8 & 1/4 long. Then stick a ten penny nail in the tail. Throw it up on a lay down jerk it in the water and dead stick.
