Murph Member Registered: 07/16/05 Posts: 3171 Loc: CT. Got a problem with that?	Depends on what type of sea turtle. I'm pretty sure most are protected in CT. These are the 4 types that are found in CT. http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?q=326036 http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?q=325956 http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?q=326026 http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?q=326028 If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.

ecurB Can you eat that ? Registered: 06/06/10 Posts: 1661	Probably ate it... . "Politically correct" was initially coined by Leon Trotsky to refer favorably to those whose views remained in sync with the ever-shifting Bolshevik Party line. This was important, as "not PC" people risked prison or death.

Guys. I didn't want to catch the turtle. I let it go. There was no harm done to the little guy. It was majestic in my eyes. And again THERE WAS NO HARM DONE TO THE LITTLE GUY!! We all catch things by mistake (including a striper in candlewood). Sounds like the turtle had to be handled to get the hook out. Might have pushed the endangered species act a bit by having a photo op and looks like he released it. Happy ending with the exception of a sore mouth for a week or so.
