A Fish Story





A resident in the area saw a ball bouncing around

kind of strange in a nearby pond and went to

investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had

obviously tried to swallow a child's basketball

which became stuck in its mouth!!

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive,

but unable to because the ball would always bring

him back up to the surface. The resident tried

numerous times to get the ball out, but was

unsuccessful.

He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to

deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

You probably wouldn't have believed this,
if you hadn't seen the following pictures...
