I finally got a flathead. Live bullhead in 4 fow. I guess patience pays off eventually.

[Larry FlatCaster]

Nice Fish!!! Sure feels good when patience finally pays off!!!!

[harvey lee]

whats the lenghth on him 61 inches?jk

[CarpinMNRiver]

Thanks, I still have a lot of learning in the world but flats, but the river is a classroom I don't think you can get sick of.

It had a 61" girth....actually it was 34" and weighed 18lbs. I am 6'5 and 255 for photo comparison. It is by no means a giant fish and hopefully not the last.

Got a few little guys tonight. Surprised the little one got the bullhead in its mouth, kind of cool coloration by the tail.

[mrklean]

i wonder how many of you catfish anglers are watching "Fish Warrior" on the national geographic channel tonight. started at 7pm. now those are huge. they go over 200 pounds. the guy is fishing for wells catfish in france. they are huge!!!! good luck.

[Gordie]

RH1 I have 2 more quests to fofill after seeing some of these monster cats caught and the wells catfish are one of them hopefully that will be right after I go noodlin for flats in Oklahoma

[aanderud]

I got home late but I set it to record on the DVR at 10. I'll watch it later.

[reinhard1]

man that noodlin just dont interest me. i love to watch these guys do it but i keep thinking of a big snapper's jaw's on my hand or some snake. i have cought eels in germany by hand when i was a kid but thats as far as i'm going. i found out they had teeth like a pike when i stuck my hand in ones mouth. always remembered that. good luck.

[Joshuaace]
