ALTON, Ill. --Tim Pruitt, of Alton, Ill., holds a
124-pound blue catfish that he hooked on the Mississippi River near Alton.
The fish is 58 inches long and 44 inches around. It took Pruitt more than
a half-hour to drag the fish into his boat. It is the largest of its kind
in state history, and is expected to be certified a world record by the
International Game Fish Association. (05/25/05 AP Photo/Handout photo

Catfish Grabblin'
This was a pretty
interesting story from The Sunday Wichita Eagle Newspaper a couple of weeks
ago. 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 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 dive 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.
You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the following
pictures...
