[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]A guy who lives at [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]Lake[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5] [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]Conroe [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5](50 miles north of [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]Houston[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]) saw a ball bouncing [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]around kind of strange in the lake and went to [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]investigate.
[/size][/black][/font][font "Arial"][black][size 2]
[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]obviously tried to swallow a basketball which[/size][/black][/font][font "Arial"][black][size 2] [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]became stuck in its mouth!!
[/size][/black][/font][font "Arial"][black][size 2]
[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]The fish was totally exhausted from trying to [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]dive, but unable to because the ball would [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]always bring him back up to the surface.
[/size][/black][/font][font "Arial"][black][size 2]
[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5] The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out,[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5] but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry [/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]catfish.

[/size][/black][/font][font "Tahoma"][#0012ff][size 5]You probably wouldn't have believed this, [/size][/#0012ff][/font][font "Tahoma"][#0012ff][size 5]if you hadn't seen the following pictures...[/size][/#0012ff][/font][font "Tahoma"][black][size 5]

[/size][/black][/font][font "Arial"][#0012ff][size 6]Be kinder than necessary. 'Cause everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.[/size][/#0012ff][/font][/size][/size][/#000040][/font]
