A Bizarre Fish Story

A FISH STORY FROM WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER

A resident in the area saw a ball in a pond, bouncing around kind of strange. When he went to investigate, he discovered the ball was stuck in a catfish's mouth;  the fish had obviously tried to swallow a child's basketball.

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive. The man tried numerous times to get the ball out but was unsuccessful. He finally cut the ball in order to deflate it, and then released the catfish.
