Flatheads, (pylodictis olivaris) are primarily a nocturnal predator species and mostly eat other fish, crawfish and things like worms. They will eat freshly killed or fresh frozen fish but will pass on stinky rotten stuff. They grow very large, from 4'-5' in nature, weighing from 75 to over 100 lbs. in extreme cases. A 3 lb. fish will likely double in size in one year, for example, hope you've got a large pond with a population of something like bluegill's for it to feed on...
ya, i can catch any size from 1-8 inch bluegill or crappies from my pond, the big one that I'm catching the flathead from
