  • We are fishing Winyah Bay in this fishing video. Winyah Bay is loaded with redfish, giant sharks and even sea turtles. Sadly, we catch a sea turtle while fishing in Winyah Bay and attempt to cut it free of the fishing line. We did not want to simply cut the line and risk the giant sea turtle becoming entangled in the fishing line. We also catch a nice shark that we release alive and also catch a giant bull redfish that we also released. We are using heavy action Hellcat rods from Catch the Fever. These heavy action Hellcat rods provide superior power when fighting large fish in freshwater and saltwater.

    This reminds me a little bit of my fishing encounter last night. Wasn't catching any fish and then boom my shrimp took off, I set the hook and immediately I knew I had a turtle on the other end. It was about a 10-pound map turtle. 20 minutes later, another turtle. 2 minutes later we packed up and left

    Someone mentioned at one time they thought that turtle might have been a stingray. I travel to Panama City, Fl to fish several times a year, and two years ago I caught a manta ray with a 4"10" wingspan. Manta rays almost exclusively eat plankton, but if you talk to locals, they do occasionally suck in a bait. This particular ray ate my fish bite as soon as it hit the water, I didn't even have time to get the slack out of my line before he was running with it. I caught it from the bank behind my hotel room on a Penn Battle 2 with a 12 foot pole. My cast was about 75 yards. Spent the next 45 minutes feeling like I was reeling in a Lincoln Navigator. Funny, as soon as I dragged him up in the sand to measure him, the hook literally fell out of his mouth. I never touched it. I assume whatever thin piece of meat was holding the hook he just reached its breaking point. Sadly, I doubt I'll ever have another fight like that again unless I catch a giant Goliath Grouper. BTW, I had caught some big bull reds, and some nice King Mackerel on that Penn. That Penn earned my respect that day. Some serious salt water fishermen scoff at the Penn Battle 2 for big game fish, I'm more than happy with it.

    As soon as he started describing the steady pull as if it wasn't even fighting I knew it was a turtle. I've only hooked freshwater turtles but it's always like that. One time I hooked what must have been a big snapping turtle, it felt like I was tied to a slow moving boat. But then the hook came off when I gave it some slack. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the hooked didn't actually pierce anything and falls off now that there is no tension. I know it seems hard to believe after pulling that hard, but just with my freshwater turtle experience I've never had a turtle that was actually pierced with the hook.

  • @HomesickforAlaska

    Never caught a turtle that size (thankfully) but as a teen in the 80's we were fishing in the Straights of Juan De Fuca in Washington and a couple of Orcas swam by at full speed (we didn't even know any were around us) and one snagged a line and was peeling drag so fast we barely had time to cut the line before he completely spooled the reel.
    Always bothered me about how much line that thing was dragging around until the hook rusted out. I'm sure he never knew he was even hooked and the line wouldn't cause him any issues but I still didn't like it.
