Oklahoma angler Dave Harrell was hoping to catch some catfish in Eufaula Lake Monday - but instead he nabbed a prehistoric-looking turtle likely tipping the scales at 100lbs.

Harrell released his massive catch, which turned out to be a rare alligator snapping turtle, but not before posing for a selfie that has gone viral.

The snapshot showing a bare-chested Mr Harrell struggling to hold onto to the bulky reptile with its maw agape has been shared more than 10,000 times on ‎Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Facebook page. In a post that accompanied the jaw-dropping picture, Mr Harrell explained that he and a friend, Audey Clark, were catfishing in Mill Creek at Eufaula Lake when they came upon something really big.

Harrell caught the alligator snapping turtle on a rod and reeled it in while his companion secured the mammoth beast and hauled it onto their boat for a photo-op. The turtle was then released into the water unharmed.

Just in time 4 Godzilla or heroes on a halfshell son.

How can it be a selfie if he's using both hands to hold that dinosaur?

Ahahahahhaa, nice av, belt, thread, post combo.




So does this turtle snap alligators? Or does it look like an alligator and snap? What's the story?

I have no idea how you wrangle an animal like out of the water, into your boat and then lift it into that position without getting mangled. That dude is a MAN.

Also, it's not a selfie.

Gamera wins.

Holy shit. That thing is huge.
