I was just thinking of the people that snag them.
January 12, 2012 at 12:27 am #1027023I caught in WI on mon. Still up in the air if its a flat head, I’ve heard it both ways.
January 12, 2012 at 1:07 am #1027053Welcome to IDO Kodiak!
Nice first post and yep, sure is a flathead!
February 21, 2012 at 1:53 am #1041150Dave, Darrell and Mitch fished Pool 4 yesterday and ended up hooking into this monster cat. Dave was the lucky guy to have a 30 minute fight on his hands but in the end his 6# braid held and Darrell hoisted the brute into the boat. You can tell from the expression on Darrell’s face this thing was heavy. Darrell regularily tosses 50# feed bags around and said this cat was far heavier than those feed bags. He estimated the cat’s weight at 60-70#. It was Dave’s overall PB fish (for size). They had slow fishing for walleyes and sauger but did manage limits, though most went back.

February 21, 2012 at 11:28 am #1041225Uh oh Brian. They are waking up early this year. Nice flathead.
February 21, 2012 at 11:53 am #1041237No not yet Pugsy.
That spots been “producing” flats all winter. I “caught” one there, talked to a fella last week and he “caught” eight there with the two largest being over 30.
Notice Frank didn’t say how it was hooked?
Bass are biting though.

It was sarcasm. I don’t care how warm it has been, I assume the water temps are normal for this time of year. It certainly isn’t that magical 55 degrees.

February 23, 2012 at 12:30 am #1041892WTF! How the he’ll are you snagging them through ice? Drill a couple holes together and Rippen a treble at em or what? Let mr flathead sleep
February 23, 2012 at 3:59 am #1041939Plus snagging is illegal so I don’t think anyone cares about your flatheads
February 24, 2012 at 2:30 pm #1042485I hope hes not snagging. Either way the DNR watches these forums anyhow!
March 1, 2012 at 4:33 pm #1044958Easy guys the fish were NOT snagged, bit on fatheads and safely returned to the water.
Now it’s patience for the long awaited stream trout fishing opener

I would clicker if I thought it would change the minds of winter flathead catchers.
Seven years ago a fella said “anyone that calls themselves a cat fisherman does not fish for flats in the winter time”.
