Midlands angler lands giant turtle
An angler fishing for carp at a reservoir got the shock of his life when he landed a giant North American turtle.
The 25kg alligator snapping turtle, which is around two feet long, was snared by Steve Bellion, 23, at Earlswood Lakes near Solihull, West Midlands. http://www.scotsman.com/latest-national-news/Midlands-angler-lands-giant-turtle.6411759.jp
