Great fishing

[Maron76]

I heard this on the radio this morning and laughed my arse off. They said the guy fishing (at night) thought he hooked a really big fish. Instead of reeling in what he thought was a trophy, he discovered that he had snagged a backpack. Attached to this backpack was an illegal immigrant wearing a Speedo. Apparently the guy was trying to swim across the river under the cloak of darkness.

The fisherman called the authorities and took the man to shore where he was arrested. Good thing they didn't practice catch and release! Lol, sorry I couldn't resist.

Yeah there's just a lot of elements in this story that are just really funny!! He said he was swimming.when asked where he was going he replied,"the other side" I've no idea why but that it really hit my spot.Thanks for sharing.

Personally I always practise "catch and release".......

Either the fisher had a powerful reeling or the illegal immigrant didn't have powerful legs and arms to swim! Jeez!
