Local Angler Gets a Surprise on his Catfish Line.....Albemarle Sound , N.C.
Thirty pound common snapping turtle caught in the Albemarle Sound region of North Carolina on a hand line....nasty claws and that snapping mouth can break fingers......these are abundant and there is also a generous population of Alligator Snapping Turtles which get much larger than the "common"
