Now that you mention fishing the bottom, I wonder how many times I have lost bait thinking it was a fish but was actually a turtle. Because occassionally I do like to just relax at a lake and fish for catfish. I was thinking you were referring to fishing with minnows or something which I never really do so I guess I never made the connection.
