My first flat!!

[Katman]

I finally got one! It isn't that big but it was sure fun! Took this guy with a live shad by a shallow sandy spot next to a deep hole off the minnesota. I can't wait to find more!

Congrats on your first flathead.Now if you are like me you have been bit by catfish fever and will want a bigger one every time out and it doesnt quit.

[The J-Man!]

Nice flatty! Congratulations, they are such a blast to catch, it won't be your last.

[Dan Thiem]

Great picture! Nice flat too!

Is that a wound near it's tail?

[Wiskers]

Sweet fish.... I am so wanting to get down there and do some flatten.....

It might be a long time before you get one bigger(luck is involved). That fish is definately *above average* in size. There are bigger ones out there, but you will learn there are lots more smaller.

That Guy is right there are plenty smaller than that! Nice fish, congrats!

[Katman]

Thank you guys. It was pretty big for my first flat..but compared to you guys...this was a baby I don't remember seeing a wound on its tail. I'll take a look at some other pictures I got. But like all....this guy made it back to the water safe Plenty of time for him to grow. I think a few more of these guys and thats all I'll be doing....flathead fishing.

Nice Fish Mate!

Did you happen to get a weight or measure? If not You might want to consider, it helps in getting a perspective on your catches. (and releases)

[Andrew Erickson]

nice fish!

[mplspug]

Quit now while you are ahead! That's some average weight of all the flatheads you have caught! Nice fish! I hope you aren't dissappointed by your second flathead!

[Katman]

no measuring tape...no little spring scale...nothing! I wasn't prepared that day. I will be next time

[DARK30]

Another soldier has joined the ranks of the Rat Patrol! Nice fish and may you enjoy several more.

[Gordie]

nice fish did ya give it a lick? not many guys get the chance to catch a first one that size, welcome to the addiction

[Katman]

I only wish I did. May my future blessings be plentiful!

Katman,

Can't go later.. I went last night to White Bear for some muskie fishing so have to do the laundry later

[Katman]

Hey Webwarrior...we may be heading out to a small spot up in anoka....did you want to join us? Mostly shore fishing....the waters too low for anything else. Let me know.
