[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3424793, member: 15054"] You can hold the line up allowing the weight of the turtle to pull the neck out of it's shell. You may need to hold it up for a minute or so and then the turtle gets tired and can't pull it's neck back in very well. Then in the blink of an eye grab the neck and put the death grip around the neck with your free hand. That turtle will try and pull it's head back into the shell and try to breathe at the same and usually the mouth is open. You can now grab the hook and try and remove it from the mouth of the turtle if it is in the mouth. I have got back many hooks that way. If you squeeze tight they can't pull their heads back in through your hand. Now if it's an alligator snapper with huge neck you may be out of luck. Beware those strike as quick or quicker than Bruce Lee. [/QUOTE]
