A teenager from Minnesota loves to fish, and the 14-year-old made a big catch recently.
Connor Halsa is just days away from his Freshman year of high school and more hockey."We like we were doing a walleye drift, so we stopped the boat, and like we put some spinners on and like we just let the waves take us," he said."I thought I had a big fish, and I set the hook really hard," he said.
"I tell you what, if I didn't if I got the billfold in my hands. It is still hard for me to believe," said Jim Denney, an Iowa farmer."The water was awful rough. I was sitting on the back of the boat there and the boat was rocking back and forth pretty good and it just must have worked out of there and slipped off into the water," Denney said.
"They had to kind of float me the money for the whole deal, I didn't have that was the sunkiest feeling I ever been. I didn't have a penny on me," Denney said. "The odds of ever finding a billfold in there, a billfold in 20-foot water, I don't think there would be a number," Denney said.He offered to give Connor a reward, but he wouldn't take it.
