You’re not actually supposed to reel in the grenade:
Matt Tucker caught a couple of bass at Fellows Lake this morning — and fished out a live hand grenade as well.
Tucker, a Springfield firefighter, said he was casting a lure near the highway bridge on the east side of the lake, when he hooked a tangle of line on the bottom.
He noticed an old sock near his lure and pulled the odd bit of trash out of the lake.
Inside the sock? A Vietnam-era pineapple hand grenade with the safety pin still intact.
Some people can’t even grenade fish right.
UPDATE: Welcome, Neatorama readers. You might have heard John Farrier call me “novelist Brian J. Noggle” because my comic IT Heist novel John Donnelly’s Gold is available in paperback, for the Kindle for 99 cents, and at the iTunes store for you iPad people.
