A junior high school boy hooked skeletal remains while fishing at a pond in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture, on Sunday afternoon.
The boy’s mother notified police about the skeletal remains hooked on her son’s fishing line at around 4 p.m., Sankei Shimbun reported. Police said parts of the lower body, including the waist and knees, were hooked when the boy cast his line into the pond. Although the age and gender of the corpse have not been determined, it was wearing long black pants.
The pond is about 3,000 square meters in size.
Police on Monday searched the waters for the upper part of the body.

There's one young man turned off fishing for life I imagine.

Poor kid!

By logical considerations , for finding the upper half you now only need to double up the pond to 6,000 square meters. lol

I hope the kid will not get problems by this experience, some would take it as some kind of exciting adventure, others would get traumatized.

Sorry for the kid, really spoiled his fun. The irritating thing is we see this intriguing start to a story on JT but probably will never see the outcome!

I hope his family and or may be some pro. is helping this kid tonight, what a rough day.

Better to reel in some bones instead of a corpse, say a month or so old.

Well I guess that's one way to put the kid off fishing for the rest of his natural life...
I hope his folks don't just dismiss the incident and looks into getting the kid some counseling to make sure the incident doesn't leave lasting effects on his psyche.

Something to write about for his summer project.
What is off-topic about it???

One shudders to think what lies at the bottom of probably most lakes near an urban area. Poor kid thinks he's hooked the big one but pull up that. Yikes! Actually surprised it doesn't happen more often.
