The alligator snapping turtle is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world, weighing up to 220 pounds and measuring up to 31 inches in length. They have a unique appearance, with a large, hooked beak and a ridged shell resembling the rough texture of an alligator's skin. These turtles are primarily found in the southeastern United States, living in slow-moving rivers, lakes, and swamps. Alligator snapping turtles are known for their powerful jaws and ability to catch prey using a lure that resembles a worm. They are also long-lived, with some individuals living for more than 100 years. However, these turtles are listed as a threatened species due to habitat loss, hunting, and capture for the pet trade.

[@hogweed1960]

Wow! What a huge Turtle! Best Regards fom Oldenburg/Germany! Jörg

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

[@jamestboehm6450]

What an absolute beast of a turtle.

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

It surely was! And super strong.

[@ron-je2yr]

Awesome catch and tough release! Any weight or shell length estimate?

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

We didn’t weigh it but it was probably pushing 100lbs. It too 2 of us to drag it out

[@savedbygraceoutdoors]

The ultimate Big Ugly.

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

😂😂😂 for real!

[@intropeforthefirstime9780]

yall that is a massive turtle great catch. i went out this weekend and i snagged into a log and i tried to break off but my reel was bending like there was no tommorow the hook eventually bent and let off the log. i truly think that i need to downsize to 40lb or 60lb until i can get some high quality reels what do you think?

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

Big gar can snap lighter line. I’d stick to 100lb

[@intropeforthefirstime9780]

I went out this weekend and i got 3 bites in the first ten minutes then nothing the reat of the five hours i was there. What happened?

[@BitesandStrikesFishing]

Sometimes they just aren’t hungry

[@intropeforthefirstime9780]

Hmm interesting
