See If You Can Figure Out What This Fisherman Snagged on His Line: 'It Was No Stump or Root

Johnny Bray was hoping to hook a catfish at the Eufaula Dam in Oklahoma last week, but he thinks he caught something much more rare.

"I laid my reel down and went out there, because I knew it was no stump or root after I put my eyes on it," Bray told KJRH-TV, describing the moment he knew he hooked something much bigger than a fish.

The Quinton, Oklahoma, man told the news station he thinks he snagged a prehistoric skull.

"I believe it is a woolly mammoth," he said.

The object is so large, KJRH reported, that he had to lug its estimated 250 pounds away on his four wheeler.

Bray told the news station he is contacting experts to more formally identify what the object is. Below are a few pictures of an official woolly mammoth skull for you to compare to Bray's images.

"I know what a bone, and skull, and stuff like that is going to look like," Bray told KJRH, doubting that the object is simply a large piece of petrified driftwood. "That is the reason I went after it."
