Massive Snapping Turtle Snagged

A pair of fishermen in Oklahoma pulled in a monstrous catch in the form  of a massive and rather menacing-looking snapping turtle. Jonathan Van  Fleet and Anthony Dover were left wondering what to do with the  four-foot-long creature after they reeled in their trotline and saw that  it had gone after the bait on one of the hooks. Getting it out of the  water must have been quite the chore as, according to Oklahoma Game Wardens, the turtle is believed to have weighed somewhere between 80 and 100 pounds.

Amazingly, the men actually managed to safely get the hook out of the  snapping turtle's mouth in an act that could have gone from brave to  misguided in a matter of moments. As noted by the game wardens, "the  bite from a turtle this large can easily remove a finger, or even your  hand." Lest one suspect that this is hyperbole, it just so happens that a  mysterious finger was found in a snapping turtle in Louisiana this week, making us wonder what could be inside the belly of this beast from Oklahoma.

Find out why that will have to remain a mystery at the Coast to Coast AM website.
