Large catfish, Monster turtle, Bad weather river camp

Camped and fished on the river for the first time this year. Four good friends joined me on this trip. We caught quality fish with one blue cat weighing 22 lbs, three at ten lbs and several more 2-4 lb fish. We caught a giant alligator snapping turtle-the largest I have ever seen. We had a great time although we dealt with severe weather on Thursday night into Friday morning.

I am in south Mississippi, we had a Cajun with us! We also caught two very large softshell turtles but here you can't keep turtles from April 1 through the end of May

Those turtles is why I don't use stainless hooks that way they can rot out!

[@jacksoutdoorlife]

Yeah I hated to leave the hook in him but there was nothing we could do.

The hook will torture the turtle

[@jacksoutdoorlife]

WE could not get the hook out.

[@user-pk2gf3tj3s]

@@jacksoutdoorlife Whether your hook is stainless steel

[@pharris1015]

​@user-pk2gf3tj3s would you have stuck your hand in it's mouth to get the hook out? There are only two options. Keep the snapping turtle and eat it or cut the line.
