Nice catty, Preacher. The flat heads just showed up in the Susquehanna river a few years ago, and we're already catching some near fifty pounds. (Okay, not me personally...but I've seen em!) LOL I'm just getting into them last couple years, what a blast. They're such a strong fish and aggressive. We use big live bluegills for bait. I have to admit when i stated keeping a few smaller fish in the 8-10 lb range for eating, I've never smelled such a foul smelling fish in my life! Hard to believe how great they cook up after you get the mess cleaned up. I was sure to get all that nasty slime off of the meat and wash them up real good, rinse and pat my fillets dry. Then we cut em in strips, batter and deep fry. Food fit for a king, right there!
