Now this is a fish story with 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:

Just goes to show you. That's why they make boats.
You gotta keep your balls out of the water,or sumpn's gonna suck them in!

Amazing - I didn't think a flathead would bite something that was not swimming. I guess that one didn't get the memo/email...

Amazing pics. I'm still trying to figure out the moral though. Is it watch where your balls are our your wife will cut them with a knife?
