Flathead Catfish Photo Gallery

Nice one ed. Never caught one even close to 49 inches long. What a beaut. Did you get a scale on her by any chance?

No scale. Just a quick photo and she went back in the river. This fish will be a lot bigger in another month. The girth was only 26"

HOLY ALL MOTHER OF CATFISH I DREAM ABOUT EVERY NIGHT!!!

Wow what a sow, Illinois or anywhere else in the US. Congrats and welcome to HSO.

Did you happen to get a length or girth or weight on that beast? That thing seriously looks like about 90lbs.

Thanks for the embed dtro. No measurements, no weight. Snapped a few pics and a swimming she went. State record in Illinois is 78#. I definitely think this fish would have a run at that, it was THICK.

The past week and a half has been a lot of fun. Trying new spots and moving often has really paid off. No monsters yet, but the numbers of fish has kept us busy. What a difference a couple of weeks make.
