A fisherman made quite the catch even if it wasn’t exactly what he was trying to hook.
The angler reeled in a purse that was reported stolen in central Pennsylvania.
The Centre Daily Times reports the angler made the big catch while fishing from a boat dock in Howard, Pa -- about 20 miles northeast of State College.
