Angler Makes GHASTLY Discovery…

As a fisherman, I can tell you that I have had some exciting journeys out on the water.

I have had times where it felt like I was fighting to reel in Moby Dick himself.

What I have never had to deal with is something truly terrifying. Now, I am not talking about a dangerous situation where it looked like I might have to ditch and swim for shore.

Oh no, I am talking about one of those types of situations where you would be flat out traumatized because of it.

I think that the majority of us are fortunate in the idea that most of our fishing trips have been mainly leisurely affairs.

However there are some folks that when they go out fishing they end up having things happen to them which anyone would consider to be a traumatizing experience.

Take for example the case of a magnet fisherman from New Orleans.

Magnet fishing, as some of you already know, is the type of fishing where you are going after metal objects instead of something that might be tasty to eat.

I’ve gone magnet fishing a handful of times, and never particularly caught anything of note. Well, there was that one time that I thought I found a car in the middle of the lake but it turned out to be an old metal Thermos.

Anyway, this unidentified man was magnet fishing and tossed his line over a bridge and came back with a couple of relatively normal items one might find while magnet fishing; a pistol and part of a gun barrel.

Then he found something that is straight out of a horror movie.

As he was hoisting the magnet, he could not believe what he was seeing. It was a human skull that was padlocked to a fifteen pound dumbbell.

Now, I would have done immediately what this guy did, I would have begun flagging down a police officer.

According to the police report that was filed by the man, the skull was fully decomposed and lacking a jaw and top row of teeth.

I would never be able to go magnet fishing again if I pulled something like that up. I think that I would end up thinking about who that person was every single time I dropped a line in.
