The miraculous catch

Never forget./// anglers often dream of catching a trophy fish... but what about something with a higher sentimental value.

*- joins us with the story of three albert lea fishermen who did just that./// katie and george ?

"* elliott flatten is a youtuber from albert lea.

He and his father... along with one of his friends ?

"* recently went n a fishing trip they won't soon forget after making a catch that rarely happens ?

"* if ever.xxx my grandpa, he died several years ago and i started this youtube thing up a couple years ago but he never got the chance to see it and it really bums me out because i know how much of an avid outdoorsman he was.

Being an outdoorsman runs in the flatten family bloodline.

Elliott says his grandpa sends them signs that he is watching over them... but none quite as noticeable as a recent trip to the mississippi river.

My dad, he was out fishing on this certain fishing spot and he had my grandpa larry's rod and he actually got it caught up in the trolling motor and it ripped it out of the boat and he lost it.

A week later .... elliot and his father... along with his friend joey went back to the same spot and joey hooked what he suspected to be a fish... but there wasn't any fight on the other end of the line.

He's like i think it's probably a boot.

That'd be his luck and get it up and sure as heck it was my grandpa's rod that my dad had lost the week before.

As the years have gone by... elliott's father has stayed in contact with his grandpa's friends ?

"* who happened to be fishing a short distance away.

They had actually been dragging weights across trying to snag it and they never caught it and right as joey hooked it, they were driving by and he pulled it out of the water and he was freaking out like i got it ?

"* we got the rod.

Cheers elliott told me it was a once in a lifetime catch... and that he's a firm believer there's always someone watching from above.

Those things just don't happen and it really just makes you think about he's still out there.

These are the signs that he throws us to let us know that he sure is watching us and i hope he's up there elliott also told me that the spot where they retrieved the rod was a hundred yards away from where they dumped his grandfather's
