Ive seen those videos of a shark stealing someone's catch. But this was unexpected. This past weekend I was at the local creek. Casting a LFT Shad, I hooked into a 2# bass and started reeling him in. As it got close to the bank, it wrapped itself around some weeds. I tried getting it free, until I saw something big come up from below. Next thing I know, the bass' head is in this snapping turtles mouth. I tried yanking the bass out, but the line snapped. My expression throughout the situation: D:

Lol that's pretty cool. I doubt the bass thought so though.

Anytime I fish at night on the docks and use a stringer I have a hard time keeping the turtles away.

LOL..... I believe the proper pronunciation is "I Like Tuttles."
