You have obviously never eaten flathead catfish. A 40lber is as mild and tender as any crappie you have ever tasted.

All these people on the comments crying about "What a waste of a crappie this. I would have ate the crappie that." etc etc pure criticism. Let the man be.You all can go fish as you please and do whatever you want when you get your own 14" crappie. SMH Nice video.Nice cat! Greetings from Mexico 👍

A 25 pound blue is worth a boatload of flatheads to me! Blue's are the best tastin' 'cat there is, and I could make several months of dinners from a huge blue. Honestly, 'cats over 20 pounds USUALLY have alot of wasteful fat. Har' in Okra-Homer, years ago up on Spring River, my Grandma and me caught 3 blue's that totalled about 20 pound. We fried and ATE my 8 pounder on the bank for "breakfast" with Paw-Paw's help. We got some channel cats too using crappie for bait. You probably know, ain't NOTHIN' tastes like one that was swimmin' a half-hour ago fresh-cooked on the banks!

That's exactly what happened to the catfish population at my favorite lake! They had to up the legal size and then decrease the daily bag limit because They would literally fill up buckets of 12 inch channel and blue cat's. 😅 They measure them from the longest whisker to the lengthist of tail fins. I'm talking catfish with six inch bodies, and when they can't catch em with hooks, they start throwing cast nets and running gil-nets, but they always end up littering the ground with thousands of shad! It's gotten so bad that they've even managed to hurt the baitfish population and Whenever I clean catfish they have nothing but moss and grass in their bellys! 😢
