Big cats

[fishingkid78]

What is everyones biggest cat they've ever caught. I,ve never caughtin anything over 10 pounds

[korn_fish]

The biggest one that I personally caught and weighed went 38. Caught a couple that appeared to be in the upper 40's but never weighed them.

average are 15-20 lbr's

put some people on 50+ lbrs but I have yet to hit the 50 lb mark.

My personal best would be 43lbs.I have seen a couple flats that push the 50lb mark come in the boat.I know there is a 60+ in the MN just waiting for me! Maybee a 70+ if I spent a little more time on the Croix or Missy.

[Hubcat]

My best is a 47# Flat.(released)
My Buddy caught a 60# flat near Sibley Park in mankato a few years ago.(released) So I know there are 60+ cats out there somewhere waiting be tangled with.

Keep on trying you will get your share of 20+ pounders.
Try using live Bullheads (up to 7 inches long to be legal)or 7+ inch live suckers or chubs.

What river do you fish?

Hey Hub, I'd be glad to help you find that 60.

How would I post a pic of a big cat?

First thing you need to do is have it hosted a photo HSOforum.I use HP Photo or my guide HSOforum works too.

At a phot site you should have an option for "sharing photo's" online.This will give you a code or address of your pic.Copy and paste the address in your reply on the forums and in front of it put the UBB tag at the end of it.

From a HSOforum right click on the photo and select properties.Copy and paste this address in your reply with the img tags.

Alright thanks. But I don't have an internet site that i can put the picture on. Maybe i could email it to someone?

I am trying to post the pic.

this is my buddy scott. The fish was caught near red wing on the mississippi a few weeks ago. We caught a few more but this one was the biggest. We didn't get a measurement on it though. Forgot the scale the next time we went down too.

My biggest channel is 16#(Red Lake River), but will get upped about 15 more #'s this summer.
Never caught a flat, but that also is going to change this summer I hope.

[Dennis Steele]

Very nice fish!

If you put this

behind it you picture show up on the this page.I chose the large option so that you can veiw the entire pic with out scrolling across the screen.Original size pics are usually too big.

Wow.
Look at the big ugly thing.
The cat in the pic isn't all that pretty either.

Nice fork!

That pic of the flatty is huge. Nice kitty! My biggest is 38" flat but no scale. I've only caught a few nice channels but they were less than 10 lbs.
