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.
On Thursday, a woman reported the purse was taken from an unlocked vehicle, according to state police.
State police say the purse was missing the $28 that the woman who reported it stolen said was inside.
Authorities haven't announced any arrests in the case.
The fisherman wasn’t identified.

A license is required to fish in Pennsylvania. The license will be waived, however, on Independence Day only for the state's second annual "Fish-for-Free Day" when residents and visitors are free to fish.
