I pictured in my mind a photo of the fisherman standing on a dock next to the submarine hanging by its stern from a giant crane. I guess it wouldn't be as interesting to say that a submarine inadvertently snagged a fishing net and hauled a fishing boat out to sea.

I hope they removed the old net from the water instead of letting it drift as trash and a danger to water life. nt Hotler Nov 18 #15
