Catfish Story w/ Pictures Attached.. A Monster+

[TheZman]

Someone sent this to me today.. sorry if a repeat

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. [FONT=&quot]

Seen that before, but a catfish should know that a child's basketball is not food. A child is food.

Always knew catfish were not the smartest things. I had a redtail eat a tank heater talk about fun...
