I enjoy fishing for flathead catfish and was hoping other catfishermen want to share their catfishing experiences with others.
I fish these fine trophies with rod and reel and release them after pictures and weights are taken.
Feel free to e-mail me about catfishing or visit

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO CHECK OUT THAT NECK OF THE WOODS. HECK FIRE, I MAY EVEN RELOCATE.
Cheeese! Good thing you had gloves on when that thing bit you!
How’d you get it to let go of yer hand?
The mature flathead prefer a live bait. One of my favorites is a 5-8 inch goldfish.
I catch several trophy size cats each year and release them.
I don’t catch as many as the boyz targetting smaller cats but I get a few.
Using 36 # test line or lighter a catman has to trust in his drag and stay sharp to land big fish.
The 2 fish above fell prey to Abu 6500s spooled with 20 pound line[;)]
Katfish,
Haven’t seen you around much. Glad you’re back! Beautiful cats, as usual. I’d love to be able to use goldfish for bait around here but they’re illegal to use here in Minnesota. They don’t want them taking over lakes just like the carp are doing.
Nice fish!

I thought you might enjoy my Christmas fish.
This big vlue weighed 77 pounds and was released after the photo.

Nice to see you back on the boards!!!
Awesome fish! catfish here are large at 5 pounds and very hard to find, we do have lots of brown bullheads though and there good eating, after looking at your pictures my wife says I have to get a bucket full of bullhead for dinner some night, thanks man you got me a kitchen pass for a day!!!
