Maine Anglers Stumble Upon an Unexpected ‘Catch’

Ice fishing usually comes with surprises, but Clint R. and his son weren’t expecting what they found!

Meanwhile, in Maine…

Josh Scott Outdoors shared a surprising discovery. Clint R. and his son set out for a day of ice fishing in Hancock County, Maine, but ended up catching something far bigger than a fish. A couple of weeks ago, they stumbled upon a buck submerged in about 3-4 feet of water, roughly 70 feet from shore. Not exactly your typical ice fishing surprise. While they may not have reeled in a trophy fish that day, they certainly walked away with a sad and interesting story.

Now, the internet has about a 10% (on a good day) rating with things like this having accurate details, but from what we have found from another post on Instagram, this appears to be legit. What is the craziest thing you have found while ice fishing?
