Fish Story

A guy who lives at Lake Stockton (50 miles

north of Springfield) 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 it 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,
