John Blomberg was fishing along the Current River when something extra came to shore after he reeled in a smallmouth bass.

Blomberg and his buddy had planned to go kayaking the day of March 18, but the weather just wasn't cooperating and the water was a bit high. Instead, they spread out along the riverfront near Two Rivers Campground, about a two-hour drive from Springfield.

Using a road runner lure, the 56-year-old snagged a smallmouth bass, and the extra companion was an adult lamprey.

"It just came out with the smallmouth, so I'm assuming it was on the smallmouth and when it hit fresh air, it dropped off the smallmouth," Blomberg told the News-Leader in a phone interview. "I knew what it was, but I wasn't familiar with it being in the Current River."
