Today I was on yahoo and was looking at the the catfish pictures. And came a cross this HUNGRY Flathead Catfish. Some of yall may have saw this but thought I would post it any way. This is what the story said

"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 whopping 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."

Well, it's news to me and I'm glad you posted it. After that story in Speak Easy where the RTC swallowed a plastic toy, this is refreshing. I'm glad they were able to rescue it. It is a beautiful fish.
