Flathead Catfish caught in the Minnesota River in 2007. The fish weighed 52lbs and was caught on a piece of cut sucker.
Not truly a monster in the Southern states, but a large fish for this neck of the woods.

“Not truly a monster in the Southern states, but a large fish for this neck of the woods.”
Thats a nice flathead in any state.
what did you use for bait live or cut
I love the video! Does the Minnesota River flow throught he Twin Cities? If so, where at? I love Bank Fishing or Channels and Flatheads.
Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer
Is this that bridge that got torn up by the tornado a few years ago?
good job letting that big boy go, it would have tasted awfull, besides that big ol’ cat is responsible for alot of eggs for the next generation. i kringe everytime i see a man take 7 or 8 fish like that and fill his freezers. ; [
@leowestdorp bigger flathead taste better than smaller ones since the smaller ones eat anything they can get ahold of and bigger one (10lbs +) eat only frogs and fish and sometimes crawdads so they have less toxins and the flathead is pretty active with not alot of fat on them.
@leowestdorp not really on yellow cats actually the bigger they are the better but on channels and blues you really dont wont them to eat over bout 25lbs because the meat is a little strong
what bait do you use for the flats on the river?/
nice
Nice fish. What part of the Mighty Minnesota were you on?
Could someone tell me where that spot is? I’ve just started fishing the Minnesota and I’ve caught a few 20 pounders but nothing over that. Where are the monsters Hiding?
nice, nice fish
ok i got a few questions for ya. I want to catch these big cats. I live in Taylors Falls and i get decent cats on the st croix but i want to give the minnesota river a shot. i got the tackle for it i just need to know what bait to use in july for them cats or lat june and where can i launch to find these monsters please lemme know that would be awsome
@Buglemintoday More than likely Suffix or PowerPro. That’s what most of us use anyways…
@dserb333 In our neck of the woods, we have problems with larger fish absorbing toxins like mercury. Any flathead of this size is around 20 years of age, and that’s a long time to be absorbing toxins. The safest bet for an eater flathead is under 10 lbs. Personally, if I have a choice, I won’t harvest a flathead no matter what size, just too darn cool of a fish! Selective harvest, let the big ones go, keep a few of the smaller ones. Let them live to fight another day! Happy fishin!
@DTroFishOn

@MrSportsman15
That is a BF 55, which I’m pretty sure has been discontinued by Cabelas.
what type of salt striker reel is that
Yep, I believe that fish does wieght that much, My little bro caught on two years ago in late fall while fishing for walley with a grub, believe it or not, that damn thing took in and the drag started screamin’. Over 1 1/2 hours with 10 lb mono line. finally got it in with no net. 49 inches and hell yeah over 50 lbs. We thought we snaged it but when it came in with its jaws wide open with the grub in the back of its throat.
MN river has a grip load of catfish… caught my limit when the flood happen by the damn..
@Buglemintoday lol sorry i am tired i thought you were asking what it was called lol
