New Record Flathead Catfish

Flathead catfish are one of the most pursued catfish in America. The world record flathead catfish is 123 pounds. The chances of a new world record flathead catfish are not good. Flathead catfish usually do not exceed 100 pounds, and most state record flathead catfish are under 90 pounds. Compared to state record blue catfish, the state record flathead catfish are much smaller. The flathead catfish state record is one that is attainable in many states, but new state record flathead catfish can be elusive.

In Fisherman wrote an article years ago about the largest flathead ever possibly recorded. The 139 lb monster caught in Arkansas in the 80's by the Sare Brothers on a snagline. Legal tackle for Arkansas but it was not the state record because there was no unlimited tackle category.

I meet steve at watts bar a few weeks ago i had my grandaughter with me and he took the time to talk to her and me that ment a lot and says a lot about him being a humble man

Only channel catfish here and my PB is 12 lb. It was a load of fun fighting it in a 5 mph current. Take care Dieter.

I really enjoy how you interview other great anglers and your take on this Topic! Awesome Video!

Here in Idaho, no one will release a catfish. More and more people fishing and taking home huge amounts of fish to freezer burn.

I live around Louisville KY and I've caught 2 flathead cats that push a 100 and 3 blues over 100 last year in June I caught a blue cat that broke the only scale and it was a100lb scale and it pulled the hook out of the bottom that was anywhere around so I got a few pictures and videos and turned her lose

I fish for wild and native trout and I really appreciate how you said to put trophy fish back and protect the water. Wish all anglers had that mindset Ik the trout community does pretty good just not at stocked creeks

I finally caught another Flathead in my favorite creek! It's been over a year since I reeled one in there! Less than a year for my gear. Loaned a couple of rods and bait to a buddy and he landed what looked like a 50 pounder.

We just had a new record flathead caught on the west side of Michigan in one of the rivers that dumps into Lake Michigan. It wasn't much over 50lbs, and one would think, there's got to be bigger flatheads, and channel cats than that. I mean heck you can hook muskie close to 60 inches here, so there has to be bigger cats down there too.

I think the Wisconsin channel record is vulnerable. If your one of those chasing a record book fish.

Thanks for your videos dude. You really helped up my BBC catfishing game. Tight lines dude.

I miss catfish and carp channel. While I don’t target catfish or carp I learned a lot about fishing early in my journey from that channel. I think WV had a catfish record broken last year. Big ones are out there.i agree we need to learn to target them better.

My friend, Steve Coleman, from Tiptonville Tn, caught a 93 pound Flathead on a spinnerbait fishing for striped bass several years ago.

[clarkcartwright]

I seen a 82 lb flat but it was on a limb line here in north eastern ok

[conqurr]

We caught a 48lb flathead and a 9 1/2 lb bigmouth bass in Gillespie, Illinois in the same day in June of 1996. It was record for both fish for the lake. It was a pay lake. They gave us $100 for both fish, they said they were gonna get them mounted. It took us about 1 hr to reel in the catfish and over an hour for the bass. We thought at 1st the catfish was a log til it started fighting .

That 101lb flathead was caught up from where I fish on the Altamaha River. Many 80lb fish have been caught in that river. The flathead state record was caught in the Altamaha as well as the Channel Cat state record. The largest I've caught was 65lbs. Love your videos by the way.

[charlieringo]

And I've been doing all that from a kayak and I would love to hook up and share some of my pictures with you I know one of the flathead had to be over 90 close to 100 I've watched a lot of your videos and you can figure out around how big they are just with the pictures

[gwb]

I have caught a few medium sized flatheads. I believe there aren't as many BIG flatheads around in most waters as in years past.

Have you done a head to head comparison of jello/Kool aid chicken and same marinade for hot dogs or smoked sausage? I've had success using strawberry jello, garlic salt and hot dogs or sausage in the past. I've watched your chicken to cut bait head to head match up

[Andrew-hrhe]

They’ve damn near fished out a few lakes and stretches of river where I’m from.

[haroldsfishingadventures]

Can someone recommend a good chum bait that's doesn't require preperation or souring, I've heard cattle pellets work good, thanks
