reeled in a unique catch: a prosthetic leg.The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports 38-year-old Michael Nelson was
kayaking in the Little Red River on Sunday when he saw the pink sole of a Nike
sneaker floating. He says the leg is “in pretty good shape” besides some
rusted screws.The Heber Springs man located the leg’s owner just hours after posting about
the prosthesis on a Facebook page called Heber News You Should Know. The leg
belongs to a woman who was involved in a boating accident on the river in April.Nelson says he looks forward to returning the leg to the woman on Sunday when
she’s in town, calling the prosthesis “the best catch I’ve had this year.”
