The things you see when you don't have a BAT... Jul. 3, 1998 >> 6:15 am GMT Man Catches Fish -- With his Foot AP 02-JUL-98 DODGEVILLE, Wis. (AP) Every angler wants to hear that the fish are biting. But not like this. Dan Droessler, a police officer in Platteville, was vacationing in Governor Dodge State Park last week. As he dangled his foot over the side of a canoe, a 3-foot tiger muskie bit him on his foot. When he yanked his injured foot back into the boat, the muskie came with it and landed in the boat. Droessler needed 60 stitches to close the gash. To make matters worse, the state Department of Natural Resources confiscated the muskie and placed it in a freezer. "We had to take it," warden Randy Rossing said. "It's not a legal size for one thing, and it's not a legal way to catch fish with your foot." Droessler said he's talking with the DNR and will need a special permit to get the fish back. Rossing said he's heard of similar incidents in Wisconsin, so maybe Droessler shouldn't feel so bad. The emergency room where he was treated did its part to lighten things up -- it memorialized the muskie with a photo and a sign reading "man-eating fish." Droessler wasn't amused: "I don't think it's funny at all."
