ANYBODY have pics of flatheads they are keeping? I fish for flatheads here in southeast ga and at Santee Cooper SC...im new to fishkeepin and ab to purchase a 125 and would LOVE a flathead...anybody got pics of theres?
 
I will as soon as I can get some. They are hard to come by in montana. Not native here.
 
yea does anybody even stock and sell flatheads? We can catch them but we have 2 go to the altamaha or santee and both aint close being im just outside of savannah
 
I don't keep them, but I fish for them. I was thinking about maybe havin a flathead in my 1000 gallon indoor pond. For a flathead, I would not recommend any size tank or pond under 1000 gallons. As you know they grow fast and get massive.
 
Flathead are extremely common where I live and its not hard to catch one around 3 feet in length. The 125G would be a very short term grow out.
 
This topic comes up a lot and it doesn't seem that there is any source for CB babies. I'd be first in line...of course I think they are illegal to keep here in AZ. But yeah I don't mean to be redundant but a 125 probably wouldn't work for more than a few months.
 
like every ine else says you won't be able to keep one in a 125 for long BTW its illegal to return a fish to the wild once you've kept it as a pet
 
i have one in my 210 ive had it since last fishing season . i got it in a throw net while getting shad. it hasnt grown but maybe a inch in 6 months ill put up a pic later on when i get a chance
 
im dying to catch one, but every since i hace got the big tank i cant seem to catch one. or a walleye, or a crappie
