TikTok creator Katie (@katie.fitz44) shared a viral video in June 2026 showing what began as an ordinary day by the water near Owensboro, Kentucky.
Recommended VideosThen, according to Katie, a fish suddenly leaped from the lake, grabbed her dog’s tennis ball in its mouth, and swam away with it.
Rather than giving up on the toy, Katie immediately dives into the lake and swims after the fish.
However, documented videos showing a fish apparently catching a dog’s tennis ball during a game of fetch appear to be exceptionally rare.
The dog returned with both the ball and the fish still attached, creating a scene very similar to Katie’s 2026 video.
