I’ve caught a few in the 7 to 10 pound range but never anything much bigger than that. What’s your biggest and what did you catch it on(would love to see the pics)?
The biggest catfish (flathead) i’ve ever caught was in the 60lb range. Carolina rig, 65 lb Power Pro, 8/0 Gamakatsu circle hook. We were using various types of live bait, and if my memory serves me right, I caught it on a live bream or crappie. 20-40 pounders are very common here in SC lakes and rivers. No pic’s of that one. Released to be caught another day.
