Default Fish Story

A guy who lives at Round Lake (50 miles south of Yorkton SK) saw a ball bouncing kind of strangely in the lake and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which had become stuck in it's mouth.
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive as the ball would always bring back up to the surface.
The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

I believe a lot of Americans travel to the Winnipeg area to fish for catfish, Tony.

Great pics Brian.
