Boy Fishes Out Purse, Uncle Jumps Back When He Sees The Photos Inside

Unexpected Catch

His uncle eagerly watched over his shoulder and watched him open the purse to see what was inside. The contents were wet and damaged from being under water for so long. But among them there was an item that his uncle was surprised to see.

His heart was beating in his throat when he reached for the picture. He wiped it clean so that he could take a closer look, and once he did, he asked Brodie if his suspicions were correct. Dropping the picture, he called the police.

Love Of Fishing

Brodie Brooks was thrilled when he received a new fishing rod for his 11th birthday. He absolutely adored going fishing with his uncle and the boys. In his eyes, nothing could be more fun than a day out in the sun, waiting for the fish to bite.

But Brodie never thought that one of those amazing trips would lead him to an unexpected catch filled with mystery and treasure.

Waiting For A Bite

Brodie and his uncle Ben Myers arrived at Lake Hartwell, Anderson County. They got onto the boat and set off as they usually would. With their rods set up and ready, they spent some time chatting.

They were wasting time as they patiently waited for the first fish to bite, having no idea that their catch of the day would end up in the hands of the local police department.

Not A Fish

Brodie’s uncle had taught him everything there was to know about fishing. In the beginning, he’d have to help Brodie set up his rod, but in time he just stood by, proudly watching as Brodie started improving.

By that time, Brodie hadn’t managed to catch a lot of fish, so Ben was rather shocked when Brodie got a bite before he did.

However, his delight quickly turned to concern when he saw what Brodie had dragged out of the water.

What Is That?

“I felt like it was a big fish because it was bobbing my rod up and down,” Brodie said, clearly recalling what had happened. “I’d just gotten an Ugly Stik, so I was scared I was gonna break my rod.

I was scared the line was going to snap.”

But with a lot of careful attention Brodie managed to reel it in. It wasn’t what he was expecting, though.
