Similar scene right out of an Altman movie "Short Cuts", where Fred Ward and his buddies see a floating female corpse and keep right on fishing. From a Raymond Carver story. Not a good movie overall.

Most of the fish we catch are given to the employees who work at my friends job site. These guys love the fish and request the heads are not cut off when cleaning them. I guess we would probably be freaked out and bring the human head back, but if our emotions allowed it I don't think it would be so wrong to put the head on ice and call it in. Heck, if we were anchored the police would be better off coming out so they would be able to mark a spot to dredge.

When you think about it,staying out left the fishermen with a better chance than anyone to find something else to aid an investigation.
Years ago a man was missing and presumed to be a drowning victim.I was diving the lake at the time and when searchers gave up I moved into the area on the chance I might happen into the body.I was working on bottom anyway and it would have helped give closure to his family.
Turned out he had been murdered by his wife and was in the backyard all along.
Several years later,working on a river I met a man that had lost his father the year before in the water.I found out enough from him to keep an eye out in the right area.
A couple years later some people found one bone washed up down river and had the sense to realize it was human.
When the bone was seen to be modern,everything fell in place for the insurance company to pay off.

We used to find bodies, well, sort of, on occasion when I was in the Navy... Not the most pleasant of things to find floating around...

A foursome on a Sunday afternoon...........next to the course, a motorcade passes by, all with their headlights ablaze; obviously a funeral procession.
One of the foursome steps away from the tee, looks at the motorcade, stands erect and doffs his hat in respect.
The others follow his lead...and afterward, one says "Gee, Bob; never figured you for such a respectful sort."
Bob replies, "Well, ya know, yer married to a woman for 26 years......................"

Is it the head of that suicide bomber????

A man is golfing with his wife and on the 14th hole he makes a terrible shot and ends up behind a storage shed. There's doors on both ends so his wife suggests, "if I hold open the door at the far end and you prop open the door on this side you can probably hit the ball through the shed. So he agrees to try this and mishits the ball again. It ricochets around inside the shed a few times before hitting his wife in the head, killing her instantly.
A year later he is golfing with some friends on the same course and on the 14th hole hits the ball behind the shed again. His friends examine the shed and one of them suggests that if they hold the doors open he might be able to hit the ball through the shed. "No way! The last time I tried that I got a triple bogey."
