Catfish tries to swallow basketball, but gets stuck......

[BC Lightning]

A guy who lives at LakeConroe(50 miles north of Houston) saw a ball bouncing around strangely 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.

Damn! He let lunch get away! Fishing was never that easy when I went. Hummm. I wonder if I could get away with fishing without a license, using my little balls? :rll:

haha...You can tell that fish is just bushed in that second pic. He is at the point of giving up. I bet he had that feeling in his jaw whenever you close your mouth at the dentist office after having it open forever.
