I haven't seen this before, but many of you may have.

Story

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 who had obviously 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...
 
hahaha thats crazy! one piece of evidence that cat fish will eat damn near anything! I cant believe it would not spit the ball back out once it realized it could not dive with it...persistence...
 
Holy Shiet! Has anyone ever heard of a catfish trying to eat swimmers? like grabing on their feet/leg?...
 
a little boy was drowned in the amazon after a red tail cat tried to swallow him.
