A True Fish Story!

Fish Story

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...







I bet he had jaw ache after that!

stupid fish. good job that bloke saw it and could help or it would of died.

Well if he wanted to win his game of basketball, I'm sure there would of been other options than keeping the ball

Thankfully someone did spot it otherwise it would of died of starvation It does show just how big a catfish mouth is.

I must ask my sisters about it, they both live in Houston.

good job you posted pics for i wouldnt have believed it either xxxxxxxx zb
