I will load some more pic tonight if I can. I had to cut the line off b/c I was too scared to try to unhook it.

That's a Snapping Turtle. Them suckers can take your finger clean off at the knuckle. I hope you were careful when you released it.

Release it? Those things are some of the best eating you will ever get your tastebuds on! They have 6-7 different kinds of meat....my Dad and I used to fish for snapping turtles when I lived in Iowa and we would catch some that were as big 'round as a 55 gallon drum. I left the cleaning of the turtles up to him 
Thank you Lord for the gifts in my life
