Once Again, You Never Know What Your're Going to Catch in the Gulf of Mexico

Fisherman hooks missile in Gulf of Mexico - Navy News, news from Iraq - Navy Times: "MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. — A commercial fisherman unveiled a curious catch when he returned from an expedition through the Gulf of Mexico this week: A corroded missile that had been fired from an F-15 fighter jet.

Fisherman Rodney Salomon hooked the missile about 50 miles off the Panhandle town of Panama City and then kept it on his boat, the Broad Venture, for 10 days. Salomon hoped to keep it as a souvenir, but took precautions because he didn’t know if it was live."
