That's a lotta catfish!

FISH STORY FROM WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER

This was a pretty interesting story from The Sunday Wichita Eagle Newspaper
a couple of weeks ago. This was in a housing development around 119th
Street S 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.
