2008 Flathead Cat Pictures

[A.W.Wolfram]

That must have been fun with that flathead Finesse rod.

[Loos15]

haha awesome, only in catfish fishing can a 6'6 M be cosnidered a finess

by the way, thanks everyone for the nice compliments

[A.W.Wolfram]

Isn't that the truth.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Hard to estimate weight from that picture for me, but I would guess it around the low 20's range. Did you happen to weigh it?

[Loos15]

Nope. Hehe i was hoping for some eyes acutlly. But he was extremely diffucult to lift and I wouldn't put him past 25. Not a monster, but the biggest cat I've caught in 10 years.

Here is one from last week of Bill from Midwest Rod and Reel.

This fish wes on a 5'6" light action.

No secret were this photo was taken.

^ Probably what about 10 lbs? Great fish!

Here is something I made for my background on my computer. These are my three biggest Catfish so far in my 3 month Catfishing career.

Darn respectable fish there, especially for your first three months.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I am so hooked on every aspect of it. I love sitting out on the river at night when it is so incredibly peaceful. It's my way of relieving stress and getting things off my mind. And then the rush of a Flathead taking the bait is just incredible.

Can't wait to be in the King of Cats next season just for fun and hopefully catch some 40+ Lb. fish.

Here is my first flat head ever. Caught it today fishing a jig and a gulp minnow on 6lb test.

Measurements were 43.5 long and 31 inch girth does anyone have some idea on the weight for this fish.

I was going to have my kid hold it up for a better picture but he was not too keen on sticking his thumbs in its mouth.

[HossFisher]

Wow that is an awesome fish! Nice work getting it in on 6lb test. Other people could probably give you a better idea of what it weighs, but looking back at one of Hansons earlier in the year was 44x30 and it was 47lb so thats about the same length and girth.

[crazyice]

Awesome fish, especially for this time of year! Congrats!

[A.W.Wolfram]

Nice fish!

Using a standerd formula I got 51.6.

It is usualy close, but on the high side.

Non the less, that is a great fish.

See Hanson, you dont need 80#pp.

FishDale, was it a workout.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Wow nice fish! Glad to see I'm not the only one still on the water.

[DTro]

Nice fish!

And even a bonus on walleye gear, that must have been fun.

With those measurements that fish is anywhere from 45-50lbs

[A.W.Wolfram]

Do thay make Gulp bullhead imitation? I might need to try that next year.

[fishdale]

Took me a little over 30 minutes to get her in the boat. Arm was getting a little sore at the end. Should have mentioned in the first post that the fish was released. I may have to get my muskie gear out and put on a bully to catch a walley :-)
