A buddy and I went on a Flathead charter last evening on S.W. Michigan's St. Joe river. I landed my personal best Flathead. It was 45" long and was estimated to be 42-44 lbs. It was quickly released after the photos were taken. My buddy got two fish....a 27+ inch Channel Cat (I'm eating that one), as well as a Flathead in the 20 lb range. It was a great outing offered by Captain Todd Brill of Gold Coast Fishing Company, St. Joe, Michigan. [Linked Image]

Lucky fish. I would have ate it

Throwing back a flat and eating a channel is comparable to feeding a ribeye to the dogs and eating a hotdog lol.
