Nice cats Darren! Its great to see some pics of big flatheads again.

I made it back to MN this weekend and my main goal was to get a flathead preferrably a nice one or two, but beggers can't be choosers! haha

Well the good lord was lookin down on me last night!

My first flatty was pretty nice but no official wieght so you be the judge. I am guessing around 30lbs.

Second flatty was much nicer and I figured her to be 40lbs or better.

anyway the trip was worth the $3.85/gallon gas to get over here and back. Keep after them!!

Great fish all! Congrats.

I'm hoping to put my first flat of the season in the boat this week. All these huge fish are making me think of even more elaborate excuses to explain to my wife the need to be out on the river.

Nice fish, Fish'n'Guy. Get any measurements on them?

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks... no measurements but the tail was touching the ground and the mouth was up to my shoulders and I am 6'0". so If that gives you an idea.

Check out the coloring on this one we caught last night:

[mplspug]

Now we know why they call them mudcats. I remember catching one a couple years ago in my that actually had the dark coloring of a channel cat. No olive on it whatsoever.

Drew, that's a new PB for you, isn't it? I think between that and your nice channel cat pic you posted today, you probably had one of the most productive weekends (as measured by KOTC-inches per hour fished). Most of these other hard-core dudes fished thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, and heck probably even tonight! I put in 5 hours thursday night and 9 hours last night and still have 0 points in each category! Nice ones, and congrats on the PB flathead! Oh by the way, I see you have a new avatar!

[Lowblazah]

yes sir...been a long time coming. That avatar was way overdue.

Fished Friday eve from about 9pm til 2am. 2 KOTC registrations for 5 hours...I'll take it.

Now I need 2 more flattys like that one (or bigger) and I'm in the game.

Most of these other hard-core dudes fished thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, and heck probably even tonight!

Those hard core dudes put 4 more fish in the boat tonight!

Welcome Wisker and it looks like the fishing has been very good for you. Glad to have you with us all.

[Lowblazah]

You must be the guy close to the top of the leader board with no screen name...

Nice fish...way to get that early lead. Morning huh? I'll have to try that.

[Whisker Warrior]

Thanks guys...I have too say that is the best cat fishing I've had in my short career (started last july w/35lb'r). Yes lowblazah thats me in second(Justin) still pretty surprised at my early performance but much appreciated to the fish gods...Well this is the start to my two days off. i probably won't get much sleep in the next two days seeing i have dtro on my heels and wastewaterguru to chase!
