Alli snappers go upwards of 200 pounds, and are believed to live well over 100 years when left alone.  Last time I went to the Cincinnati Zoo they had one on display.
And here's a pic of one that will likely haunt your nightmares:

He might not be the biggest one out there, but that bite will make up for it.
Reading this thread and seeing your pic, Snivelly, reminded me of the time I was driving down this road in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, probably Whitehouse, and there was this monstrous load lurching across the road ahead of us; I pulled over and got out to discover a MONSTROUS snapping turtle.  My friend David who was with me was afraid of it; each time the MONSTER snapped at us, it jumped at least 18 inches in the air and my friend flinched twice as far back.  I think he was awed by my nerve to try and save the MONSTER.  I luckily found a downed tree limb and began to push the MONSTER off of the road; he went swoosh down the incline into the creek he had come from, a remarkable climb if that was indeed where he had come from...

It's just a baby ... you need to come down here to swamp country. I've seen some in Reelfoot Lake that would give you the willies.

I'm looking for the pictures but we had one last summer that tipped in at just under 100 lbs. and it had a really nasty temper. Found him in the yard moving between sloughs during the rains, dog was going nuts.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
