Over 140lbs of Flathead catfish

CatHunter · 06-30-2012, 10:50 PM

We did the Apalachicola catfish tournament with some pretty good results, we landed over 140lbs of flatheads with a few fairly large fish in the mix. Unfortunately we didn't get one big enough to take the trophy but we had a blast fishing the Apalachicola and hopefully we will do better at the next event.

That is a good catch. Was the river flooded?

Fine mess of kitties...too bad no trophy but you didn't get a goose egg so all is good!

That's a heck of a catch at any rate. Do you have any idea how many pounds total were caught in the tournament? Just curious.

Nice mess of cats. Congratulations. Is there another picture of the rest of the 140#'s?
140#"s is a good trip. Sounds good.

How big was the fish that won it?

skiff89_jr · 07-01-2012, 07:37 PM

Big fish was 35.?? A 12 year old boy took 1st,3rd,and 5th big fish and he won over all total weight.

Here are a few measurements before I cleaned them, this is 6 of the fish I kept my partner kept the two biggest and two smallest.
