Fish Story

One of the better “Fwd’s” I’ve received in a long while.

Good one Mom!

Fish Story

A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing around kind of 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

You probably wouldn’t have believed this, if you hadn’t seen the following pictures…

Could someone PLEASE tell the folks at Lake Conroe the correct story??? This happened in Wichita, KS (see snopes.com) and I’m the photographer…It happened in May of 2004…Feel free to check with Mike Pearce w/Wichita Eagle as well - the story and photos ran several times actually over a year’s time…
