:barf:Geez, I would puke or something if that happened to me.
 
You'd have to have a really big rod and reel to catch a body. Like deep water fishing equipment. I don't think that I'd catch one on my little rod and reel. Thank gawd!

My medium action rod and reel would haul that in.

I've hauled in 15 feet logs. Damn line wouldn't break.

Wow! Never imagine a person catching one of those!!

Wonder what he used for bait??

Sorry!! Bad joke, I know!! But I could not help myself!
 
Since the fisherman was fishing off Art Museum Drive, then he was fishing in the St. Johns River....so it wasn't salt water/deep sea fishing. ...No photos were attached to the news I got, was a gruesome catch! No idea how long the body had been in the water, should know more on the 11pm news.
