It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a child's 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 resident 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.
I can't tell you if the story is true, it came in my email. But the pictures are pretty convincing.
OI! I'd run screaming from a catfish that size.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you just love how blogger decides to publish your pictures in random order? I have had pretty good luck with Blogger... love that 'recover post' button... but wth is up with the whole picture thing???
ReplyDelete..Yeah and don't try adding a photo where you want it AFTER you've added more text. Pfft.
ReplyDeleteThat's one big cat! I just don't see how that could be real, but then again...i've seen stranger things, so who knows.
Hubby caught one the size of his leg once. Good Eats! ;)
