A snapping turtle catfishing on Lake Martin in Alabama on rotten shrimp. It was a beast. We were in a canoe in the middle of the night fishing waist deep water on an expansive flat. The rod doubled over and I set the hook. Several minutes later. My cousin reached for the leader before we could see the beast (of course assuming it was a nice channel cat) and out comes a huge snapping turtle with its mouth wide open!! My cousing nearly lost some fingers. We called it a night after that.
