(KOKH/WKRC) -- He was hoping for a catfish, instead, this Edmond,
Oklahoma fisherman snagged a massive snapping turtle, the picture of
which has gone viral. Dave Harrell posted the picture of him holding
the massive turtle he caught on Mill Creek off of Eufaula Lake to the
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Facebook page. In the
description, he said he was fishing for catfish on Sunday with a
friend when he caught the big beast. He said he snagged it on a rod
and reel and then pulled him to the boat for pictures. After snapping
a few memories, he released the big turtle back to the lake. He said
in the post that it's the biggest one he's ever seen. He posted the
above picture to the ODWC's Facebook page where it's already been
shared more than 4,000 times. ----- Follow us on Twitter @Local12 and
