WOW! Never thought i'd pull this off! Went to the river today to catch some dinner and ended up with two beautiful baby flathead catfish! (4 or 5 incher and a 9 incher). I took them home mostly because such small specimens are hard to come by. Here are some really crappy pictures (i took them with my phone). Im not too sure what I'm going to do with them yet.

Nice. There are people here that are looking for them to keep them as their pets, my understanding is. Knifegill is one such member. ColeFishing is the other - see his last post on 1st page http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?502961-WC-vs-Captive-bred-channel-catfish

They're cute. A bait shop around Cincinnati sells them for bait

I have a little 6 inch one as well. I had a nice 13-14 inch one for sale a while back, no one stepped up though.

Not super fast, maybe a half inch a month or so. I did not power feed mine either though.

Really? I thought it would e pretty fast do to there massive size. And what would that be? Like 3'-4'. My 1400G pond should be enough I think.
