A guy who lives at Lake Conroe , TX (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... Vinny Chase attached the following image(s):

Wow ... crazy ... I can't believe it would still be alive. Really cool that he was able to save it. That's a big catfish and I'd sure love to hook up with it using a baitball.
I wonder if catfish are like other fish where when they get too big they really don't taste that good?
