New England’s fishermen harvest millions of pounds of seafood each year. Anyone who has fished for any length of time has a story about something unexpected that came up in the net.
Depth charges from have been caught which would sometimes actually explode on the way to the surface. Every fisherman seems to have caught glass and bottles at one point or another, but one man had caught a walrus tusk that was examined by a professor and was determined to be 20,000-25,000 years old.
Once a fisherman thought he had caught a cane, but he later found out it was a femur bone. Another had an airplane caught in his net!
