I hate to see a big turtle destroyed and if it were in my pond, I would welcome or at least tolerate it.
However, your pond is different. I wouldn't use an untended bank line for fear that I would catch a marketable fish and not be there to release it unharmed. I recall that you can't shoot in your neighborhood so I would fish for it.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
