Okay, a basketball is about the size of your head, right? So imagine swimming in waters with critters like this... and it's a small one, keep in mind...

It was a kiddie basketball, though. Much smaller. Still a damn big fish, though!

This coming from the guy that's swum with snapping turtles that could have taken his leg off...

Those are some pretty cool pics!

Actually, fish that size are surprisingly common in most decent-sized lakes. You should have seen some of the dead scavenger fish we'd occasionally find beached in the Ozarks. I think the largest we found was 6 feet long...
