Could very well be true WIcatHunter.
The limited number of folks I know in WI that fish for them do support a season with the exception of 1.
I had flathead for the first time this year. Maybe my expectations were too high because I’ve heard the same thing…they are the candy bars of the river. The 21 pound flat that died and we had cooked with channel cats was extremely “ho hum”.
I would eat it again if I had on mortally injured, but channel cat is still my fav. Everyone’s tastes are different I guess.
Thanks for the ‘bago rules. They’ll help in my one man quest.
