I throw frogs all the time and turtles have been trailing them in.  I'll cast, start the retreive, and a turtle will pop up and chase my frog then stop about a foot away.  They usually stop chasing it about halfway to my kayak, so I cast back out and it pops back up does the same thing.  I've never caught a bass (or a turtle) when this happens.  It happens fairly often even on different lakes.  Does this happen to anyone else?

Around here, it's frogs chasing (and eating), frogs. Big bullfrogs love eating topwater frogs and they'll come from a long ways to get one and are extremely aggressive. 

This has actually happened to me a lot, but not only with frogs, but with other top water lures. My friend actually caught one once when he wasn't paying attention.

I accidentally beaned a turtle on the head with my frog last week. Needless to say it didn't come back.

I've never had a problem with turtles chasing hollow bodies, but real frogs and ducks...that's another story. Had a big ol' bullfrog inhale my frog and I thought I had hooked (and lost) a good sized bass. Put the hollow body back into the same spot and Mr. Bullfrog suddenly appeared. 

I have had it happen a number of times. Snakes as well...i don't like snakes.

I feel incredibly lucky to live in a place where I can bass fish and not have to worry about things like snakes. Must get the heart pumping!

Bad thing around here is most of the ones I come across are poisonous. Big water moccasins give me those bad chills!!
