A fishy story

A fishy story

, 1 min reading time

I was recently told a story about a fish getting a ball stuck in its mouth. I listened, smiled and thought how unlikely it could happen. Well, i have now been sent a photo which seems to confirm this event. I give you the story, as told to me:- 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. Seems unlikely, doesn't it........ Do you believe it now?
