Albums: 31 pound Flathead Catfish
Comment
Dick & Jeff< thank you. I have lived on and fished the Rock River all my life. This is thie first and only Flatty that I have ever caught. I knw it was different because the Channel Catfish always go to the surface and splash around, but this time the fish stayed at the bottom and pulled like crazy. When I got it on shore, it was a Flathead. We aren't supposed to have Flatty's in the Rock River. It was 31 inches long and weighed 31 pounds. I kept it to eat and have a mount made. My taxidermist strongly suggested a replica mount, so that is what he made me and did a great job. It definately did some line stretching. lol. That is one of the great things about fishing, you never know what your gonna catch next.
Nice Catfish there Duane. Bet it done some line stretching.
Wow.. Big Flattie! Tell us about this nice fish. Did you mount it?
