Now this is a fish story!! And a moral to it also......


A guy who lives at Lake Conroe
(50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing
around kind of strange in the lake and went to
investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish that had
apparently tried to swallow a 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 guy 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:


Be kinder than necessary
because everyone bites off
more than they can chew
sometime in life...
 
wow what a great guy, most people would have laughed and/or thrown things at it :( that's what happens around where i live
 
You are right... Wouldn't have believed without pics, but WOW to the pics...
First thought before the pictures was, "Would have to be a pretty big catfish to try and swallow a basketball...." And it was!!
 
Wow what a "fish story"
 
Omg... no words.
