What are the clear balls of jel found in lakes?

My brother and I were fishing at Lake Canton. He tossed a net trying to catch shad, instead a clear ball of jell, about 3″ in diameter appeared in the net. Later while we were trolling we found another ball of jell in the water weed growth. The blobs were clear, they didn’t break open when dropped they were firm enough to hold shape but still very soft. It seem the blobs were solid gel like and not full a soft shell with fluid inside. Has anyone seen this before? I found something called Lake Balls but those are green algae found in japan lakes… not the same as what we found in Lake Canton. Thanks for your interest. Lis
The Canton City Lake in Canton, TX is where we found the strange blobs. I’m still laughing at the breast implants…. the blobs look like breast implants for a 3yr old!! Very strange.

I’ve seen them before in ponds and lakes. They also seem to be attached to rocks sometimes.

I think they’re colonial organisms of some kind – large colonies of microscopic organisms. Apparently bryozoans can form colonies like this (second and third links) – they are microscopic, simple animals. The first link describes similar colonies formed by protozoans. Alternatively, they could be eggs from frogs or other amphibians or fish.
