Ok fresh on the heels of the great swallower fish thread (http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36740 ) where Matt wondered if it may have been a hoax, I went and searched snopes.com.

Didn't find any instance of that one, but did find these exact photos of the catfish and the basketball: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/catchfish.asp

... except that the photos are now attributed to some lake in Kansas, not Saskatchewan. The story is otherwise verbatim word for word.
