What. A. Day.

I have to share my fishing story from today.

I had the day off from work so I went below Keystone Dam and got soaked to the bone in the rain but caught a good size channel catfish.

I decide to try a pond I've never been to before north of downtown Tulsa. Not the best idea, I know. But I fished and ended up snagging this teeny little baby catfish with a bass lure.

Now for the best part. I'm on the other side of the pond and get a snag. I start pulling it to shore because it's not attached and as it got closer to shore so I could get my lure back it starts looking odd. I get it to the bank and pull it up and it's a LEG! A human leg!!!! Well as far as I could tell, It had a boot and pants and the size and shape of a leg. So I'm shook. I've been to war and seen some stuff similar but it got to me. I called Tulsa police and they came out. They said yeah it looks like you caught a human leg. Then there appears to be a torso close by in the water so they ask me to hook it and drag it in. One perfect cast later and the torso is on the bank. They cut the clothing off and.......... it turns out it was a very elaborate prank by some people. But the cops were like they looked legit and real you did the right thing calling.

I'm glad I found it and not some kid who could be traumatized for life seeing something like that and not getting the answer that it was fake.

So yeah, long post over!

Funny now!

Dang it man. Good way to give someone a heart attack. Glad it was a prank though.

That would have shook me up. You’ve got a story to tell now.

Unbelievable! See....fishing is an exciting sport. Betcha that never happened on the 18th. green. :biggrin

I sat there debating, act like I didnt see anything, or call the cops. I didnt kids seeing it and freaking out so I know I made the right decision.

Even the cop said Man you've got a heck of a fishing story now!

Years ago in Memphis my wife and I went for a walk down the road from our house. Only farm land around that area. We saw a body in pond. I went as close as thirty feet, turned around and went to the house to call the police. Two weeks before a young nurse was abducted coming home about midnight, right down the road from the pond. The police arrived, helicopters were flying overhead, CSI unit, in total about ten vehicles. I have been around many dead people and thought this was one. Thankfully it was a mannequin someone put there. The police even we're not sure until they actually got to it. Someone, thinking it funny, had staged a crime scene in a very isolated area. So yes, I understand your relief in discovering that your incident today was not the real deal.

Thats crazy!...I wouldnt go back to that pond again,no way.

Ya know, whoever did it was probably hiding nearby filming the whole thing and now it will probably be on Youtube or something.

Just kidding, thankfully it was a prank and not the real deal. Seriously, it would have given me the willie's too, I'm sure.

Glad it turned out that way BA!!

fished a bass tournament on the hudson river in 1998 one of the competitors found a body floating in the river on practice day. was telling the people at the motel we were staying at they said it was not unusual for that area, catskill ny, they usually came from new york city.

good fish story! I accualy have a friend that found a dead body on the river. he said next time he will leave it lay. the fuzz had him tied up the rest of the night, running them around, with his boat. lol he wasn't happy at all.

hope it doesn't bother you too much in the days to come BAFishbarn.

I'm an Army combat veteran and this isnt the first time seeing something like this so I'll be fine.

Somebody has a more twisted sense of humor than I ever dreamed of. Glad it wasn’t real.

Thays what me and the cops said. People have a sick sense of humor. AMD too much time on their hands!
