A true fish story. Proof positve you don't need a fishin' pole or trotline to catch big fish. If it weren't for the pictures, I'm not sure even I would have believed it. This is from a reader's pond. Their neighbor saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange like and when he went to investigate, it was a flathead catfish with a child's basketball stuck in its mouth, and the pictures tell the "rest of the story". His wife did have to cut the ball in order to deflate the ball and release the catfish. he's a lucky little bastard, most people would have fileted this guy!
