One East Tennessee Fisherman has quite the fish story.
Knoxville Police say a fisherman hooked onto a World War II-era explosive device while fishing Wednesday at the Sequoyah Hills boat ramp off of Cherokee Boulevard.
KPD officers and Explosive Ordinance Disposal personnel responded and say the fisherman hooked onto an object that was roughly 20 feet from the embankment. It was later determined to be a weathered World War II-era explosive device.
The device was carefully evaluated by EOD and was safely transported to U.S. Army personnel in Cookeville.
