Fish Story
A guy who lives at Round Lake (50 miles south of Yorkton SK) saw a ball bouncing kind of strangely in the lake and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which had become stuck in it's mouth. The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive as the ball would always bring back up to the surface. The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

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.
