Fisherman finds a severed finger

The severed finger of a Washington state man has been found by a fisherman in the belly of a fish. The digit was in remarkably good condition, say police, who were able to fingerprint it and trace it back to Haans Galassi, 31, who lost four fingers from his left hand in a June wakeboarding accident. When police called and began talking about the lake, Galassi responded, “Let me guess.
