The man secured an enormous carp.
Satisfied with his catch, he went back home and got ready to cook the fish. He cleaned it and took it apart.
But he was really alarmed. He found in the fish a human finger.
He was confused, and his wife was horrified.
How was a human finger able to enter the carp?
The fisherman called a friend to explain what had happened, which, according to the Daily Mail, was how the puzzle was solved.
He was told by the acquaintance that a TV news program had featured a man who had an accident on the same lake and had lost four fingers.
