flathead catfish

[verruckt]

Anyone ever kept a flathead? Or called a yellow cat sometimes also. Live in most southern states and maybe others (don't know where all there from).[YT][/YT]

I had one for a while several years ago. If it will fit in a flatheads mouth it will eat it. It never came out except at night to feed. and feed it did !!

They get as big as a RTC, in a hurry. One of the baddest catfish in N. America for sure. Pure predator. In the wild they are usually only caught on live bait, in heavy cover. Like any other predator catfish they need a big tank. The bigger the better, with plenty of hiding places. Monster!
