WOW! ON A CRANKBAIT. THAT MUST BE A JOB HOLDING THAT FOR A PHOTO. LOOKING TO CATCH MONSTER CATFISH THIS YEAR.

Excellent fish! I am still yet to take my first flattie. The nearby Susquehanna River is routinely yielding 20 to 35 pounders and is a 'Back East' destination water for them. I really should go...

Caught it on a crankbait in 8 feet of water.  This fish took approximately 15 minutes to land.  I probably could have cranked it in quicker on that superline, but I was enjoying it too much.

Yikes! Did you catch that on purpose?

Congrats, how long does it take to landed.

Monster! Forget about eating the fish, I'd be worried about that fish eating me.
