Agree on the dying out part, but still see quite a few folks running beagles here.

Here's a quick vid Winchester put out about a local rabbit hunting legend a few years back.

Never been anywhere folks didn't rabbit hunt.

Belly steak from a flat head is the BEST MEAT you will ever eat. BAR NONE . PURE white meat no bones, no grissel, no mud veins. BAD info on catfish is the small one are better ! BULL the big ones you cut the red/dark meat out of and nothing compares to it. I eat wall eye but the walleye is like carp compared to the belly meat from a flathead.
It smells like popcorn popping when you cook it is criscoe

I think the main reason they are upset is they eat all the native fish. I sat at a dock a few years ago watching a stocking of both lake trout and walleye fry. The flatheads thought the dinner bell had rung.

I love catching big flatheads on the Ohio just as much as walleye and salmon in the great lakes.

Asking for a friend, would you drink the water that these fine catfish come out of? No problem drinking the cold water where I fish.

It might be just me, but I wouldn't eat anything that came out of those warm water stink holes.

Enough said.
