00:00Maybe one of the most creative ways to get rid of your wedding ring after a divorce.
00:0399.5 QIK.
00:05It's Mark and Melanie, Tampa Bay's morning crew.
00:07So this guy's been divorced for a while.
00:09And one of the reasons he claims that they got divorced is because his ex-wife hated how much he fished.
00:14He loved fishing.
00:15You hear that a lot, right?
00:16Really?
00:17It's either golfing or fishing, I feel like, where a lot of relationships get sideways.
00:21I mean, I feel like drugs, addicted to going to the strip club, those would be, you know, grounds for divorce.
00:27But, oh, he likes to fish?
00:29Wow, sounds awful.
00:30I think it's the same thing, though.
00:31You get addicted to it.
00:32Fishing and golf, very expensive.
00:33Fishing is very expensive.
00:34And it takes time.
00:36You know what I mean?
00:36Awesome.
00:37You're out of the house.
00:38This sounds like a dream.
00:40So this guy attaches his wedding ring to a fish because he's like, you know, it's kind of like the symbolism of his wife hating that he fished so much.
00:50Yeah.
00:50But he wanted to get rid of the ring.
00:51He said it had so much bad karma attached to it.
00:53So he attaches it to a fish.
00:55That fish happens to get caught in a fishing tournament.
00:57This is Lake Michigan.
00:59All right.
01:00And so then the guy who catches it's like, oh, my God, there's a wedding ring on the fish.
01:04And it's zip tied on there.
01:06Yeah.
01:06So it is meant to be there.
01:08It's meant to be there.
01:09Well, this guy, ever since he caught it, has had nothing but problems with his boat.
01:13Like, it's been the biggest disaster ever.
01:15Here's the news story about it.
01:16A fisherman in the Pass the Passion Tournament on Lake Michigan caught a steelhead with a man's wedding ring zip-tied around its tail to start the weekend.
01:25The band belonged to Captain Jason Rose.
01:28His wife hated his fishing and he needed to get rid of the ring, explaining, I didn't just want to toss it to the bottom or pawn it, but believes the ring is cursed.
01:36The seven weeks without the wedding band have been great for Rose.
01:41And Nelligan says he's had nothing but problems with his boat in the days since the catch.
01:46So this ring is bad news, right?
01:48Like, it's causing problems and the new guys had it for seven weeks.
01:51The other dude who got rid of it, he's like, dude, my life's been amazing ever since I got rid of this ring and tied it to the fish.
01:56So I thought to myself, this is one of the most creative ways I've ever heard about getting rid of something from a relationship.
02:03Yeah.
02:04I mean, absolutely.
02:05It'll be really easy for you if you ever decide to get rid of your wedding ring because, you know, you don't have one.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Man, why did it get personal real quick?
02:14Like, first off.
02:15I'm just saying, you don't wear one.
02:17First off, man.
02:17I mean, it's invisible.
02:18I do have one.
02:19It's invisible.
02:20No one would know if they caught a fish with yours on it because there's nothing there.
02:23Here's the thing.
02:24It's camouflage.
02:26Oh, it's camouflage.
02:28I'm wearing it.
02:29I can't see it.
02:30It's exactly right.
02:31Interesting.
02:32You just can't see it.
02:32Yeah.
02:34I don't like jewelry.
02:35I wear it when I go out with my wife.
02:36I've seen him wear it before.
02:38I've seen him wear it.
02:39Never seen it.
02:40Yeah.
02:40Well, I do.
02:41I don't know that it's real.
02:42I don't believe it.
02:43Back to this guy.
02:45It's incredible what he did.
02:47And we're taking your text now.
02:50Creative ways that you've gotten rid of, you know, something from your relationship, your
02:53ex, your past relationship, 800-992-1099.
02:58This is pretty good.
02:59Ziplining it onto the fish.
03:00I mean, this is, yeah, I've never heard anything like this before.
03:03Usually it's just, oh, you burn it or you donate it.
03:05Something like that.
03:06Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, whatever.
03:09That's amateur hour, I guess.
03:10Well, these days, you've got to do something better than that.
03:12I just, I want to know, like, yeah, but what was the fish's life like?
03:16Like, was he having a good life with it?
03:18Or when they caught it, he was like, oh, thank God.
03:20Like, maybe he couldn't wait to see a hook.
03:22And he was like, just bite it, like, take the ring, you know?
03:24Like, maybe he wanted out so bad.
03:27I feel like he was probably hitting on a female fish nonstop.
03:31And they're like, no, I can't.
03:31You're married, obviously.
03:34He's like, it's not what you think.
03:35I swear.
03:36You're clearly taken.
03:37Well, you have a ring on you.
