FORT WORTH, Texas -- An NBC 5 viewer in northeast Tarrant County discovered something fishy during Thursday's storms.

The viewer, only known as Erik Breitinger, said he was watching television Thursday afternoon in his North Richland Hills home in the 7200 block of Chatham Road when he noticed a fishy smell in his living room. He looked down to find a "very fresh looking blue gill fish on the floor," he said.



"[My] puppy, Rocket, had found [it] in the back yard and brought into the house," he said.

Erik said he is left to wonder whether the fish ended up in a city that is miles from a body of water because of high winds during Thursday's severe storms.

Severe weather has been known to carry items for long distances.
