According to the Wichita Eagle newspaper, a guy spotted this catfish (see picture) with a child's ball (like a basketball) in its mouth. The fish is struggling, trying to dive, but the inflated ball keeps bringing the fish to the surface.
He got a hold of the fish and tried to remove the ball but just kept lifting the fish out of the water. Finally his wife brought him a knife and after deflating the ball, it could be removed, and the fish swam away.
I wonder if stripers will hit basketballs?
