Bombed Out

I've Grown Attached To This Thing With Fins

A Florida fisherman landed a live air-to-air guided missile, attached it to his boat and kept fishing in the Gulf of Mexico for another 10 days before returning to port. The bomb squad dismantled the heavily corroded eight-foot-long missile when he returned to shore.

FOOTNOTE: Reel-life drama.
