This was a pretty interesting story from The Sunday Wichita Eagle Newspaper
a couple of weeks ago.

A resident in the area saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in a
nearby pond and went to investigate. It turned out to be 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 it and release the hungry catfish

 

don't suck a big ball if you don't have a big mouth .
