A small LIVE ...WW2 bomb found in Malaysia has been used as a boat anchor.... the things people do with weapons..

Wonder if aircraft or artillery?.. was described as 160mm so may rule out a aireal bomb.

Common sense should of been used by the fisherman, any weapon as seen can kill.. look at France for example and all the WW1 relics still dug up nowdays..

( i know when i was in Europe recently i nearly trod on a WW1 era hand grenade .. came within 10cm of it.. not to mention many other hand grenades and shells on the ground... these can kill even after 90years)
