Dawn Vanderpool said: " It seems like people won't believe it ."
The Vanderpools and the police finally came to the conclusion that there may have been a bird of prey catching this catfish out of the water and turning it into a meal. However, the bird accidentally dropped the fish, the fish fell to the porch and slid into the pool.
Leonard Vanderpool said: " Fish can be slightly injured because of its horn due to the impact and on its back there are many strange footprints ."
But fortunately, the fish was not seriously injured and was released back into nearby Ruby Lake.
