Sweet, I had seen those pics before, but never the "wrong" angle. That puts a whole new (not intended) perspective on things.

Holy Cow! Seems I'm not the only one who thinks the girl is a hottie. I get multiple requests for a link to more everyday. It's one of those teenie sites that features young girls-look to be in their 20s despite advertisers claims. However-tread carefully. One never knows where the web will take you. And no-I don't subscribe. I was just hunting around for a clean pic to post here and she popped up.

Edited - pic (with website listed) removed. -Z-man.

I could be wrong, but didn't Buick build a show car that looked like a corvette in the 50's?

Well, that may not be it, but it's almost got to be based on the early-mid 50's vettes.

From Panama to the Great Lakes, Bill Driver's done pretty well fishing over the past 50 years.

Now he's wondering if he'd have done even better with a different kind of bait. "I never considered using a kid's basketball," Driver said. "Maybe I should have."

Friday afternoon, Driver was standing on the deck of his house near 119th Street West and Central when he saw an eight-inch ball floating in Sandalwood Lake.

Noticing the ball wasn't floating normally, Driver wandered to his dock for a closer look. A catfish had its mouth stuck around the ball.

Driver hollered for his wife, Pam, to get a camera while he unrigged the sail from his nine-foot boat, wading into the lake and corralling the fish toward shore with the sail as a seine.

Several times, the flathead tried to dive, only to have the ball buoy it back to the surface.

The fish appeared to be exhausted and offered little resistance once in the shallows.

Things may have gone easier had the fish the strength to struggle.

"I just couldn't pull that ball out of its mouth," Driver said. "I was lifting up out of the water as best I could by the ball. I finally sent my wife to the house to get a knife."

Driver carefully deflated the ball. Estimated at 50 pounds, the fish swam toward the deepest part of the lake.

Driver has no plans of targeting the fish in the near future.

Instead, he'll probably continue to fish for the bass and panfish that swim within the one-acre lake.

"I guess I might try fishing with a golf ball," Driver said. "Smaller fish, smaller bait."
