Turkey…… Was won by Mike Byron who caught an octopus whose tentacles were firmly wrapped around an old beer bottle that had been lying on the bottom of the lake. It was a possession not easily surrendered by the octopus. The octopus was released back into the lake to continue to develop a cirrhosis problem for its later life
