It was caught Dec 6, 2013

It not a Flathead, I was curious to see if anyone would pick up on it. It's actually a Jau Catfish. Caught in the Uatuma River, a tributary of the Amazon River :)

Not sure on the weight, I asked for it but no response yet.

Im with you. It looked weird to me, very thick shoulders and thick around the tail and didnt do that typical flathead tail curl, but again when he says look at this flathead, we look at a flathead!
