Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Pretty much after ya get a yellow cat , demudded and cut down where it is fit to eat , there ain't a lot left on one that size . Better to release it for breeding stock , takes a long time to reach that size . CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yep, Bill is correct. But you could drink a lot of beer trying to get him in the boat on crappie rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeweler jim Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Respectfully disagree on the "demuding thing." Butcher, brine and to the smoke house it goes. Got about forty five pounds of meat off this one (one of the smaller ones). Usually never took pictures, but the guy on the right insisted because he was with me when we took this one. Many stories, but none that would be believed. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo264/jimschad/Flathead-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Nice one. That lake is 4213 acres. Lots of room for the fish to move around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
