FISH STORY FROM WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER

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.

I received this in an e-mail, so I checked it out. It's not an urban legend. My apologies if it is a duplicate; I did search.

My aunt and uncle used to go noodling. They'd just jump in the water, sticking their hands down in the snakiest looking places and come up with fish.

I'll stick to a line and pole.

LOL. Gotta watch out for those jump balls.

How in the heck did he teach that catfish to retrieve the ball?

[Samwise]

I'll stick with the fish market down the street.
