This thread has me wanting some flathead. I'm going to lay some belly steaks out and will let you boys see how good they look. AS for seasoning I dip mine in egg ,roll it in corn meal, and let them swim in the crisco sea. Little lawrys seasoning salt as soon as they come out. Hush puppies stir up corn bread but with half the milk. Chop up an onion and stir it in . Drop them in the deep fry right after fish comes out. Then throw fish back in for 30 seconds after hushpuppies come out . Everything is piping hot !!!

Fresh walleye and whitefish are pretty darn good.

Flathead are ambush strike from below predators. Just look at how they are built. Eyes on top like a flounder and flounder is good eating. To target flatties you need live bait. The only thing bottom about them is where they prefer to to spring the ambush from.

Blues are also predators. They function much the same as striped bass do. Schooling and holding at mid depths in relation to current.

Channels don't hold to the bottom either being true omnivores and opportunistic feeders.

I've heard that old wives tale my whole life. If the body of water is ripe with mercury (methylmercury to be precise), it will be present in every species of predatory fish, and fish eating mammals in equal concentrations. Catfish do not slurp up puddles of mercury from the bottom of the river or lake.

Personally I'd prefer to allow the ignorant yanks to starve to death than change the name of a fish that is, and always has been excellent table fare.

The flatheads here have about wiped out our redbreast population. They’d hold tournaments just to try and remove them, or at least reduce the numbers.

Mercury accumulates.
The bigger the fish(older) the more mercury they will have in them if they live in water where there is mercury in the food chain.
You can eat fish that have mercury in them,you just have to watch how many meals you eat to be safe.You can eat more meals of smaller fish than you can from larger fish in the same water.
The amount of meals should be more limited for children and women of childbearing age.Old geezers dont have to worry much about mercury in fish.
Methyl mercury can be present naturally in wilderness waterways,not only from industrial contaminants.
Mercury is not the only contaminent in fish.PCB's are also of concern-those are industrial pollutants that bio accumulate in the foodchain also.

Look up Minimata disease.

I think the banjo player in Deliverence eat too much big catfish.

Heck that pic looks like our fish fry the other night. All that’s missing is the coleslaw and sweet tea.

That's what we use for flathead bait, except those aren't big enough yet. I like them to be big enough to keep the rod tip throbbing.
I do enjoy fried crappie even though they have the flavor of tap water. Bluegills are much tastier to me.

Yep...covered the milk label (which could very well be soy, or nut "milk"), but forgot the gf label on the flour! Lol
