looks like the cats are biting

In the last three years between me my dad and brother we have caught over 40 flatheads in the 15 + pound range they are not as uncommon as you might think. You just got to know what to look for as to where they are holding at different times of the year. I definitely agree though about policing your self and not just keeping as many as you can catch. Out of those 40 + fish we have only kept 5. Not sure if you know this or not but the flathead has belly meat besides the normal filets and if you don't get those you are loosing out on roughly half the meat one has to offer.
