Louisiana Man Catches Huge Turtle, Social Media Reacts to Capture
Louisiana truly is a "Sportsman's Paradise" and one catch has many on social media suggesting that this turtle should have been released to live another day.
Sonny Collom shared a few photos of the massive turtle which was caught at Toledo Bend and many on Facebook said that the person who caught the turtle should have let it go.

In the original social media post, Collom says that it weighed approximately 160 pounds.
