A fish story
« on: February 01, 2007, 12:23:56 PM »
Sorry about the lenght but thought people should see. Got this from searun today.

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...   















Be kinder than necessary. Cause    everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
