(Chelydra serpentina osceola) world record?

I think I have caught the world record of this variety. I am posotive about the variety

Any help would be appreciated .This is different than the Common or the Alligator snappers its a subspecies like an Osceola Turkey is different than an Eastern Turkey. This is different than the others and the biggest Florida Snapper anyone I know has seen

here is another pic of it its feet are almost big as mine

That is one big snapper!!

Whats the weight?

Don't really know how to help, but I guess I would start with a call here:

That really is a HUGE turtle.  How did you get the hook out? What are you gonna do with him now? I have a lot of questions...lol.

Unless that turtle weighs 86 lbs and is 19 1/2 inches long then you have no record.

Bang sticks have many uses   :-?

Thanks I will have to call them .

Jake P. I saw that record thats for a common snapping turtle its a different species than the Fl snapping turtle. It swallowed a big stainless hook meant for a gator so I had to put the turtle down .   I hated catching him actually . I wish I could have saved him but the hook was deep. It was a male turtle so maybe it has passed his genes around the area . No telling how old one like that is

That sucks you had to put him down but I am sure an old, studly fellow like that has passed his genes on a time or two.

dang!!! where did you get him from? (lake or river)

He came out of a canal that leads to the St johns river

Im no biologists but thats a big snapper ;D
