The Catfish Ball

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

One of our customers sent us this very fishy story…….Read on

” A guy that lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston, Texas) saw a ball in the lake that was bouncing around rather strangely and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flat head catfish that had apparently tried to swallow a basketball, which consequently became stuck in it’s mouth!!!

The catfish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, which it was unable to do because the ball would always bring it back up to the surface. The guy in question tried repeatedly to dislodge the ball, but was unsuccessful. He eventually got his wife to cut the ball in order to deflate it. The ball was now easily removed and the catfish was released to the safety of the inky depth’s.
