New kind of catfish lure anyone?

I don't know if this has already made the site our not, but I got a pretty funny fish related email today about a story in the "Sunday Wichita Eagle" newspaper.

The story goes on about a resident that noticed a ball bouncing around in a nearby bond. When he went to investigate he found a catfish had tried to swallow the ball, and now the ball was stuck in it's mouth making it impossible for the fish to stay submerged.

The man tried to pull the ball out of the mouth of the catfish, but eventually had to cut the ball in order to get the ball out.

I have no idea how real this is, but the pictures look realistic. Here are the pics...
