I've been trying for the big flatheads on the Minnesota for TWO YEARS and haven't caught a single one. Then I catch this little guy on the Mississippi. I'm ecstatic.

Sorry about the picture of the double. First time doing the self portrait. I wish it was better but I didn't want to keep the fish out of the water any longer.

Nice one!!!!i never caught one but have seen some huge ones down on Table Rock Resevoir near the surface in 80 feet of water. i asked the resort guy why the flatheads where on the surface [i thought they were bottom feeders]. he told me they were after bluegills. i had one of those on but it broke off on me, but i'll never forget the fight. i had lighter bass tackle so it was no match for the cat. good luck.

Awesome! Nice work, Gordie, putting a rookie on a fish the first time out with him. You got spoiled, Jim, going with such an experienced catter with such a nice wide boat!

[bigcat]

What kind of boat is it?

What kind of boat is it?

A big wide one with plenty of room to be comfortable, plus some very bright headlights.

He goes well with this musky I caught a couple months ago on Lake Macbride:

Yes I agree, I had a good guide and a comfortable boat to fish out of! I could have sat there all night, but my better half wanted to get going. Next time she can go shopping or watch a movie instead

It was a great weekend to be out on the river. Me and a buddy put 9 cats on the beach friday night, and you cant complain about a view like this.

This one ate two 10-12" suckers. The fish came up with a hook in each corner of its mouth and managed to tangle is up in the brush pile.

My friend had to go in early so I was left alone to deal with this pig so its not a real great pic.

[aanderud]

Nice pics, bass whacker. I don't know the location, but I'm assuming based on how wide the river is that you're fishing on the 'sippi somewhere?

[Bass Whacker]

yes, we were fishing pool 3. I do most of my cat fishing there
