A fish story

[ElsewheresDaughter]

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...












Be kinder than necessary.

'Cause everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle.

1. The only reason he didn't eat it was cuz it wasn't a blue cat.

Had it been a blue cat, he'd have pulled that badboy in, and it'd been thin fileted, battered and fried. :D

Maybe I'm projecting. :yoiks:
