‘Haunted’ wedding ring reemerges tied to fish’s tail TWO MONTHS after husband threw it in a lake to ‘break the curse’
A wedding ring described as “cursed” by its owner has reemerged two months after he tied it to the tail of a fish and threw it into Lake Michigan.
The ring was found looped onto a cable tie and secured to the tail of a rainbow trout by a competitor in a fishing tournament on Friday.
Joe Penar was left bemused when he reeled his catch and found such a valuable object on the end of his line.
But on Monday, the ring’s former owner came forward to explain he had thrown it away while trying to move past a decade-long marriage that ended four years ago.
Speaking to the , Capt. Jason Rose said: “I am a fishing guide. She was always against me following my dreams and hated how much I fished.
“I felt I needed to get rid of that ring but I didn’t want to just toss it to the bottom, pawn it or any of that kind of thing.
“The switch to raise the helm floor to get at the engines broke and the hose at my dock burst.”
“I think we’ll mail it back to him, no return address.”
Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is 300 miles long and contains 4.9 trillion tonnes of water.
