Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - May/June 2022 - 12
and a picture
that captured a
priceless family
memory.
I laid the
measuring tape
carefully across
the fish's length
and yelled,
" Congratulations
Leah! You are
now a member of
the 20-inch club. "
As I cradled
Good luck tackle
The memory, though it seemed frozen in time, was
but a few fleeting moments strung wildly together.
A massive green head with an even larger mouth
neared our wading feet. We looked in awe as the
brawny, muscular body surrendered sideways to my
glowing angler.
With a quick grab, I had the fish. The
commotion encouraged cheers from the family
the prize in the
water, Leah
touched the
greatest bass she
had ever caught.
Her gentleness
instinctively
ushered the
fish to return
to the pool, its verdant vibrance dissolving into the
green depths.
I looked to my daughter, who was as happy as I
had ever seen her. I combed through a lifetime of
compliments to properly convey the gravity of this
wonderful achievement. " Leah, you are a fine angler! "
Leah, still brilliantly beaming, shrugged with her
signature smile, " I was just lucky, Dad! "
Exploring Box Turtles
* Woodland Box Turtles, Terrapene carolina carolina,
are native to Pennsylvania and much of the eastern
United States where box turtles can be found in a
variety of habitats from open fields to wooded forests.
Woodland Box Turtles live on land, preferring areas
with plenty of moist soil and leaves.
* In the spring, box turtles begin emerging from
hibernation after spending the cold winter months
burrowed far beneath soil and leaf litter.
* In the spring and early summer, female box turtles
look for warm, sunny locations to lay eggs. A
Woodland Box Turtle uses its hind legs to dig a hole
and cover the eggs with soil and soft plant material
like leaves or grass.
* Box turtles are omnivores, eating a variety of plant
and animal material including berries, slugs, snails,
mushrooms, and even insects like the cicada pictured.
