Prosthetic Leg
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. -

Fishermen catch a lot of strange things, but in the Panhandle, one man came up with a prosthetic leg, and eventually found the person it belongs to.

Matt Willingham caught the leg in his net Wednesday night while he was shrimping in the Gulf of Mexico.

Mark Robinson, the man it belongs to, saw the story on the news and contacted Willingham.

Robinson says his leg came off when he jumped into the water over Memorial Day weekend.

He plans to get his $30,000 leg back on Monday.
