I found this online on foxnews this morning...

BUNA, Texas  A class ring lost for decades in an East Texas lake is back with its owner after turning up in a fish caught the day after Thanksgiving.

Joe Richardson of Buna told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he wishes he knew "how many fish it's been in."

Richardson was fishing at Lake Sam Rayburn about two weeks after his 1987 graduation from Universal Technical Institute in Houston when he lost the ring.

The 41-year-old mechanic says on Nov. 28 received a call from a fisherman who had reeled in a more than 8-pound bass. The ring that had been in the fish had "Joe Richardson" etched in the band.

Richardson says the fisherman did an Internet search and made several calls before reaching him and returning the ring.

Buna is about 110 miles northeast of Houston.

That would be really cool to finally find the owner of the ring, bring it to him, and see the look on his face.  How about proposing with this method?  Nah, I don't think most guys would want to wait 20 years...

Cool story but it sucks that a 8 pounder had to die.

Perhaps he just burped it up.

I agree. Hope the fish was released alive, but I doubt it. This story is making the rounds since yesterday on our local news.

That is amazing. I am surprised the ring was not buried in the mud.

Looks like some one .... or fish beat you to the PASS THE MOJO idea....
