BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -A wrestling match pitting a courageous man against one monster of a turtle unfolded in a drainage canal, but it was for the animal’s well-being.It happened off Hoo Shoo Too Road in Baton Rouge and the massive alligator snapping turtle still looked a bit troubling even after it was tucked inside a kiddie pool. Its head is as big as a football.”You’re looking at about a four foot long turtle,” said Martin LeBlanc.

Travis Lewis first spotted the creature when peeking into a canal near his driveway.
