Dave, 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 3:41 am #1041184that thing is a pig, no question about that! But 60-70lbs?…
would need to have measurements to verify that… that fish looks low to mid 40’s at most.

Awesome,
Jack

February 21, 2012 at 6:11 pm #1041393Nice flat! He’s a high 40s flathead
February 22, 2012 at 4:20 pm #1041729Well guys, we’ll never know for sure what the big Flat weighed at that point in time, nor will we know its length or girth. Even though many of you jumped down my throat with “better” weight estimates, I’d say they are less accurate than a sack of feed. I’ve learned my lesson about mentioning anything about details on all future fish posts with pictures, I have now been trained. You guys can do the guessing.

there is no question that fish is BIG. and it is trophy size!
It just isn’t 60-70 lbs, that is all some of us were saying. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I was not trying to discredit that fish in anyway, just trying to relay some information, that is all.
I would love to catch one that size every time i go out chasing them in the summer!
