My New Flathead Catfish

[USMCSS]

I recently decided to get back in the hobby and bought a few tanks. My girlfriend and I went out to the canals here in the Phoenix area to try to catch some smaller fish to put in our 55 gallon and we ended up catching 2 very small largemouth bass, a yellow bass, and flathead catfish. I put them in with my 14" ornate bichir. YES I KNOW they'll need a bigger tank later but the 55 will do for now. Just felt like sharing.

Actually caught him with a rod in the exact same spot we caught the yellow. The two largemouths were caught with a 4' cast net.
