What a trophy and on a chicken. who would have guested. Good Job

WTG! Congrats on becoming a Tenn. Master Angler Level II.:ThumbsUp

Nice! Do you purposely bend the hook out like that or is that what the cat did to it?

Awesome story and a great catch. Congratulations on the master angler award. You earned it with that one.

That Flathead was responsible for the bent hook, just thankful that Hook stayed in there!

i bet that was tons of fun on a crappie rig.great job getting him in the boat.

In a past life, I was a bass tournament fisherman and fished in a bass club in GA. We had a tournament in the late fall on Lake Jackson, near where our club was located. One of our guys hooked and landed a blue catfish on a crankbait that he brought to the club scales before he released it. It was just over 70 pounds. At that time there was a restaurant in the Atlanta area called "Catfish King". Some of the club members went to the restaurant and got hand fulls of bumper stickers that said "Catfish King". One night they went to the home of the guy who caught the huge cat and covered his Hydra Sports bass boat up with those bumper stickers. He was a good enough sport to leave them on the boat thru the next tournament.

Congrats on a great fish. Just be aware that flathead cats are wonderful on the table.

Very nice flathead!! I know that had to be a blast to put that fish in the boat!

congratulations on the catch, that looks like it was alot of fun

Great story Candi. Congrats on getting out there and fishing. So when did you stop talking about " Oh this is a big Crappie!!!!!!" Great photos and day I would say...
