pricemo22 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I was fishing in the small golf course pond I normally do the day before this guy said there is monster cat fish in there but I have never caught one or seen one he said u catch them with worms and shrimp the next day I went to the pond it was raining and I kept seeing splashes around the pond every where and I kept seeing a fin when I got close they were gone I did not see what it was then saw it again I walked up real quiet and I saw it. It was about 2.5 feet long and 10 inches wide I put a worm crank bait and frog in front of it it would not take the bait so I gave up there was at least 4 how do I catch them Quote
pricemo22 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 I did some searching I think there are flat head catfish Quote
anonbassman Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah those sound like carp, especially if they were hanging out together. Quote
pricemo22 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 They mite be idk I found a picture of a catfish that looked like it Quote

Go to any bass pro and look at the catfish stuff. The smellier, the better. Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 6, 2013 Super User Posted June 6, 2013 Who cares about punctuation I'm not writing a essay u can read it does not matter Tell that to your first employer. By the way do you by chance have a picture of your PB? 10-11lbs is pretty big. 1 Quote
pricemo22 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Ya I'm only 13 and this is a fishing web site not job and I don't I caught that last year and I just started this thing and that's the only reason I take pictures of my fish If I catch another one I will show u Quote
pricemo22 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 Why can't u just answer the question like other people Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 For what it's worth, my repost was a mistake but the initial comment was a joke. And like I said via pm, employers and colleges certainly appreciate it. An attitude like that won't earn you a lot of help around here. Regardless, I apologize for the joke. Good luck with the cats. They are a blast to catch. I sent you my best methods via pm. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 if they are indeed flatheads, your best bet is going to be live bait. a live bluegill might be your best bet, and will potentially catch you some large bass as well. or try something like a nightcrawler or shrimp like the guy suggested. he told you how to catch them, you did something different. your description of the splashing and fin out of the water does sound like that was carp you were seeing. but then again, the guy told you catfish, and you claim to have seen what appears to be flathead catfish, so ill assume its flathead youre trying to catch now. i believe Florida considers flatheads to be an invasive species. try what the guy told you to use to catch them, thats local direct firsthand knowledge of the pond. if you insist on trying to catch flatheads on artificial, your best bet might be a spoon... 1 Quote
