@ Jason Ward
A quick google search found this…(I was curious as well)
The native range of the flathead catfish includes a broad area west of the Appalachian Mountains encompassing large rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio basins.

“Steve”….if you go saltwater fishing and catch a 70# grouper are you going to let it go? Myself I fish to eat. Spending as much money as it cost to fish now a days catch and release is not an option . “Good Fishing”

“Steve”….per FWC rules and regulations..” Upon catching a NON NATIVE species to our river system you are actually suppose to consume or dispose of. Just saying…Congrads on the catch that’s a good fish fry there. David’s won’t have nothing on that.

I hope he let it go back. There is no reason to eat something this old.
