I dont know if anyone seen this yet its new to me so I thought Id post it.
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...
