Remember, Everyone You Meet Is Fighting Some Kind of Battle

Wichita resident Bill Driver was standing on the deck of his house near Sandalwood Lake when he saw an 8-inch child's basketball floating on the surface.

But the ball wasn't floating normally so he went to investigate and discovered that the ball was stuck in the mouth of a large flathead catfish.

He called to his wife to get the camera then grabbed a sail from his 9-foot sailboat to use to try to coax the catfish closer to his private dock. Driver says the fish tried to dive several times but was clearly exhausted from having such a buoyant object in his mouth.

He tried several times to get the ball out and finally succeeded by piercing it with a knife.

He estimated the weight of the fish to be about 50-pounds.

Remember, be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Wow! He's got pictures to prove that he wasn't telling fish stories!

That catfish is huge - but kind of a dim bulb.

 

[ChefLoriG]

yes, certainly not the brightest light bulb in the pack, but yeesh he's huge

Yeah, looks like he got his "cat" mixed up with his "fish" and tried to play...Ok, here's a dimwit fish joke...what did the fish say when he hit a concrete wall?"Dam"
