Forget about an old boot or a tire, Solomon Rodney caught an 8-foot-long missile on a recent fishing trip. Rodney tied the missile to the top of his boat and planned on keeping it as a souvenir. After contacting officials when he got ashore, it was determined that the missile was live. A bomb squad from MacDill Air Force Base was summoned, and the area was evacuated before the weapon was dismantled. Rodney says the Air Force told him not to pick up any more missiles. "They told me if you find another one, just let it go," he said.

"Just let it go"???  C'mon that was a catch of a life time    Thanks for the link troutnut.

IF HE FINDS ANOTHER ONE!!!


ARE THEY KIDDING?!?!?!

Sh_t Oh Dear, how many "Live" rockets are there just lying around??

I guess the skin mount isn't going to work out for him.

Hope he got a pic and a measurement for a reproduction.

Was he trolling? Jigging? What bait was he using?
What kind of fishing report is this? Details, details...

Is that a missile in your kayak? Or...

He brought the missile ashore Monday evening along with his 5,000 pounds of grouper
