This e-mail was sent to me by a buddy of mine. Pretty funny pics... I do not know how to post more than 1 pic at a time so there will be multiple pics... Here is the article:
FISH STORY FROM WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER
This was a pretty interesting story from The Sunday Wichita Eagle
Newspaper a couple of weeks ago. Was in a housing development around
119th st. South and Maple. Anyhow a resident in the area saw a ball
bouncing around kind of strange like in the developments pond and when
he went to investigate, it was 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 the ball and
release the catfish.
