Kids soccer balls are the best catfish bait going - check out the 'take', bobing fish, netting and release.
On this occasion, there was noline attached.
Ha Ha - you gotta love those 'swallyalls'.

That, my Aussie friends, is what we here in the US call a flathead catfish!
I saw these pics earlier today on my "home field" fishing site. Apparently, it's true!

I usually use night crawlers or small bluegills for bait but I guess I may have to try toy basketballs! ;D Although, it sort of looks like someone pulled a mean trick and shoved that ball into its mouth. If that's the case, Karma is going to get that sucker! If not, boy, that's a dumb fish! ;D

Not my work Les / Sam - Definately not me in the pic.
I saw these pics on a US 4x4 site and thought those here might get a laugh out of them.
We get catfish here E.C. - not sure of that particular strain but they grow big and are just as stupid as this one.

imagine if the catfish swallowed the whole ball. he would have quite a stomach ache. and i wonder if you could drop him and he would bounce back?
cheers philip
