[00:00:00]It could be something sort of sat on the bottom there with in its mouth. So, what I'm going to do, I'm just going to tighten each one.

[00:00:04]And if I feel resistance, I'm going to sort of yank on the line and it's an outside chance there could be a fish on the end, but I'm not expecting it, but good to go through the motions just in case.

[00:00:17]It's a pike.

[00:00:22]Yeah, it's fish.

[00:00:24]You got a lot of line out there, pal.

[00:00:25]>> It feels quite strange though, whatever it is. Nice big soft shell turtle. Spiny soft shell turtles like this will often eat frogs and snails, but they're just as happy with a bit of dead fish. Can hear it hissing there.

[00:00:38]It's a bit annoyed with us, but I'm a bit annoyed with him actually.

[00:00:42]Leave the bait alone. Leave the bait alone. Yeah. Ah, anyway, that was a lot of work getting that in and not what we wanted, but uh we still got time for some fish action possibly.
