Catalpa (catawba) worms on trotline

It's so hot and bream fishing was 'sorta' slow - so I only had 14 bream to feed the turtles last night - so I used them on my yoyo's (and even the turtles were not very hungry e.g. I had to let several bream / baits go this AM (lucky bait thieves)

I decided to stink up - the trotline area by using catalpa worms and magic bait (11 each) - still had several catalpa worms left on line this AM (magic bait melts in this hot water or I probably would have had some of that left)

Good news: The world is better place because two soft shell turtles went for the trotline bait - one on magic bait hook and other on catalpa worm. They both had drown so I was unable to save them (boo hoo :) I would guess that they both were around 5 lb each - too bad the water is so hot and they died - I don't know how to tell when the meat is spoiled :(
