You Should Have Seen The One That Got Away

When I was about 12 years old, I caught my first fish by snagging it through the tail with a bare hook after I had exhausted by bait supply. It was a 7-inch rainbow trout.

I was so proud.

When a commercial fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico reeled in an 8-foot missile, he was proud, too. So proud, in fact, that he hoisted it aboard and cruised around with it for 14 days as he finished his voyage.

When he brought the rocket ashore, it caused a bit of ruckus. Turns out the device was a live air-to-air missile.

EOD was called in from nearby MacDill AFB to dismantle the device.

Sorry, Charley.
