    This is NOT like shooting the biggest buck imho.

    ALEXANDRIA, Minn. – A Minnesota woman who lost her prosthetic leg while swimming in a lake three years ago has been reunited with the lost limb thanks to a Wisconsin angler.

    Beth Krohn was fishing last month on Lake Ida in Alexandria. She says her line kept snagging on something, and she thought, “I hope it’s not a dead body.”

    A KSAX-TV report ( http://bit.ly/q1jrRF) says her catch turned out to be the prosthetic leg that Pam Riley of Morris lost three years ago.

    Krohn eventually tracked Riley down and returned the lost limb.

    Krohn says she’s proud of the catch. She says it’s like going deer hunting and shooting the biggest buck of all.

    Riley says she always wondered what someone would think if they saw a leg surfacing in a lake.

    That would be an interesting catch! I probably would have hung it on my wall

    Too bad the two ladies weren’t fishing together. Beth would have said—I think I have a big fish and Pams response would have been “Naw, you’re just pulling my leg

    Somehow I knew it would come to this when I posted, but I just don’t have a leg to stand on complaining about it. Later, I have things to do today and really need to hop to it!

    No-one has referred to Pam Riley as “Pam” for a couple of years now.
    We all call her by her nickname … EILEEN

    I’d rather have the deed to the bowling alley.
