"Brad Pederson was trolling for Walleye on Wednesday but ended up getting a bigger catch in the form of a 180-pound Czech who authorities said was trying to enter the country illegally.
Pederson, 26, and a friend were fishing on the St. Clair River near Marysville when they came across a curious sight.
"I saw what I thought was a stump," the Algonac resident said. "But it was a floating backpack. And connected to it was a guy in a Speedo."
There were a couple of proverbial red flags concerning the situation. It was around 11:40 p.m. The water, Pederson said, was 60.8 degrees."
