flying fish

A couple in Florida were at home relaxing when they heard a crash in their backyard.  What they discovered was a catfish has fallen from the sky, crashed through their lanai, and landed in their pool.  The police were called to help get the large fish out of the pool.  It took a while to convince them that it was true.  It took about 10 minutes to remove the fish.  They suppose that a bird had scooped it out of a nearby lake and then dropped it when the bullhead stung it.  There were talon marks on the back of the fish but it was very much alive and was returned to a lake.  catfish in pool
