No imagination necessary.
I had to look at the pics really hard to see which end was up on that thing. It looked like a piece of jewelry that would be worn by a woman named "Marge".
While we recognize it as a firearm, the uninitiated, like the person who hooked it, did not ... at first.
From the story you posted:

After reeling in his prize, he was briefly puzzled by the weirdly-shaped object he had pulled out of the water, ..."

Then it turned out that it wasn't even a firearm but a replica:

After examining the object, which Pina said took about 40 minutes, detectives determined the firearm to be a plastic replica and it was then disposed of, Boston police said.

Note that it took the PD 40 minutes to make that determination because they didn't readily recognize it as a real firearm. How long would it take you or me to determine it was made of plastic? Not 40 minutes, that's fer damn sure.
