OT: A Fish Story
« on: Oct 28, 2009, 09:47 AM »
A Fishy Story........

I thought I would pass this along to you folks, it was sent to me via emial.

A guy who lives at Atwood Lake 

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:
