JKitchens Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Not a swimbait fish but it is my PB channel cat on a #4 Glass shadrap! Look in its mouth and you can see my lure! blackdynamite, ATFISHING1234, Salty_Cak and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man CP Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Awesome catch Joe! I'll take a big ol' slimey whisker fish on bass gear any day! Salty_Cak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfan Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 You get that big flatty in Colorado or slightly east? That's a huge flathead for CO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodCat Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 That'd be a state record if it was caught in Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassing305 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Solid Flathead Catfish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadinesmom Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 definitely looks like a flathead with that huge underbite and flattened off tail. sometimes hard to tell just by color, the coloring is more channel cat like but looks like a flatty's body to me! Killer fish, flatheads are TANKS! Makes sense that you caught him on a lure, flatties love live bait, they're not as big into dead stinky things as the other whiskery bottom feeders.

FishDr Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Wow that's a beast! Super nice flathead! I've tried targeting them just E of the CO state line a couple of times with no luck - maybe this will be the year I get one to play.

JKitchens Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Wow that's a beast! Super nice flathead! I've tried targeting them just E of the CO state line a couple of times with no luck - maybe this will be the year I get one to play. I caught this one at Geary State Fishing Lake while casting for saugeye. If you ever get a chance you should try Milford Lake in Kansas, huge bluecats are common. Flatheads hit Lazy Ikes trolled slowly along the riprap during the spawn, they would probably devour your slammers... Wipers are busting shad on top water starting in July and going thru most of September, total rush!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
