    Caught Me A Cat!

    Fishing has been a little slow at our favorite lake since they are dropping the water level by 10 feet to perform dam repairs. I had caught a couple of small bluegills so decided to try for catfish with one.
    Ended up catching a #35 flathead that was about 41" long. Took me an hour and 40 minutes to get it in the boat on #15 test line.
    Filled 7 guart bags with the meat from this fish. Sure tastes good!

    Did you get the cheek fillets? Once they start to get big, there is a nice little fillet of meat on the cheek.

    Nice catch!

    Nothing like catching fish so big they need field dressed and butchered.

    Good catch! That one will make a nice fish-fry! Make some jalapeno hush puppies, fries and coleslaw to go with it and you have a feast!

    Of course your favorite adult beverage would only add to the enjoyment!

    Around here they are called Mississippi Bullheads. Much better eating than catfish.
