A bit confused and it's a little frustrating!

The pond in my area is OVERRUN with turtles. One time I got a backlash and my crank was just sitting in the water. I went to reel my lure back in and somehow I thought I hooked into a log. You know how you can sometimes just pull on a stuck lure and it'll drag the stick to you? I discovered I had hooked into a GIGANTIC turtle- at least forty pounds! Luckily for the turtle, the hook bent and it popped free. Let me tell ya, that turtle could definitely eat a three pounder.  

Haven't seen any turtles that big in there, but there's quite a few that are about 10-12" or so in diameter. I caught one of them a couple mornings ago. I posted a pic of it in the Latest Catch Pics section of Fishing Reports. Caught it on a chatter bait...lol.
