I enjoy catfishing a bit each year. Like you I enjoy the challenge presented by flatheads.

Last winter I got cocky and loaded 2 quantum Big Cat rods with Abu Garcia 6500 reels and 20 lb test line. I got a 35 first and then finally broke one of them in with this fish.

My rods are not broke i till I get a 50+ on them. I worried this Spring that the 20 lb test would let me down but the drags on the Abu's kept me in the game and I landed the cats.
As with all the big cats I released this one after pix and weighing. He is still swimming around growing, making baby flatheads, and ready to go for round 2!
