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.

That fish would have ended up on my dinner plate. Maybe I should try that with salmon and ping pong balls

I stopped once on a trip to Vancouver, near Hope (Othello Tunnel area), and skip-hopped out across some large boulders to a nice flat one in the middle of the river. I was tired, and sat there for a while, until I noticed some large shadows in the water across the way. I scooped up some pebbles, and tossed them one-by-one, and almost every one got a nice big steelhead to hit it. There were several of them there, and you could see them playing catch with me just below the surface. So, next time you're fishing trout, try pebbles.
(As a side note, do not jump DOWN from boulder to boulder across a fast-running mountain stream... jumping back UP is much harder, wetter, and colder.)
